With A Christmas Garland – you are set for your Holiday Christmas music with beloved Christmas carols and beautifully arranged brass selections for the Holidays. Sing Noel with Gloriae Dei Cantores is a Christmas treat from beginning to end. The recording opens with Sing Noel – a colourful set of carols moving seamlessly from one to another. From Caroling, Caroling to My Dancing Day and The Holly and the Ivy – this recording brings you a traditional Christmas experience that will brighten your Christmas cheer and warm your heart.

Nothing heralds the majesty of Christmastime like the brilliance and beauty of brass! Gabriel V Brass Ensemble presents a collection of music for Christmas by masters of brass, including Rolf Smedvig, Anthony DiLorenzo, Morten Lauridsen, William Berry, and more. From the overflow of joy in J.S. Bach’s Wie will ich mich freuen, to the cinematic soundscape of DiLorenzo’s Baltazar (A King’s Journey), to the rosy-cheeked romp of Leroy Andersen’s Sleigh Ride, each piece adds new luster to your celebration of this glorious season.
