Mark Cox - Trumpet
We Need a Little Christmas + 53 arr. William Berry
This fantastic festive piece was originally arranged for a large brass ensemble featuring trumpets, horns, trombones, and tuba, by William Berry, but has been reimagined and recorded entirely on trumpet and flugelhorn!
I hopefully capture the essence of Berry's vibrant and energetic arrangement that brings the holiday spirit to life. As Berry himself describes, 'Tis always the season for "carols at the spinet" so here is a bit of holiday insanity. If you can stay more focused than I can, maybe you can get all of the quotes. If not, that's what the video is for.
The thing about holiday music is it comes back every year, so people have heard these tunes all their lives, which makes the snippets recognizable. Without that, it wouldn't be funny. We do try to have a good time...but keeping them in line is like herding cats.
This one is for when the group gets a lot of requests and you want to honor them all in shortest amount of time. Ho ho ho & enjoy!'
