Manheim Steamroller

Today I have videos of the three Manheim Steamroller songs that are my favorite.
If you know me, you know that I love brass bands. I think that this is why I love these three songs so much, even though they are done mostly with a synthesizer, the brass is incredible. I like to listen to them turned up, way up. My sons laugh at me because they are also songs that I like to "conduct".

Again, scroll down to the bottom and turn off the playlist so that you can listen to the music on the videos.


More Clip..
Hallelujah
A take on the Hallelujah chorus. I love the "trumpets" as well as the percussion. I could listen to it over and over.




Joy to the World
Pretty joyous, wouldn't you say?






Angels We Have Heard on High

One year the high school band did this as their final number at the Christmas Collage Concert. I wish I had had a video camera that year. The orchestra was on the stage, the drums were on the floor in front of the stage and the entire concert band- the woodwinds, brass, low brass- were spread out in and around the auditorium, down the aisles. It was impressive, surround sound, the brass sounding the opening notes for the angels to announce the birth of our Savior. I was blown away. One of the few times I have given then a standing ovation.
