Advent Calendar of Carols: Whitburn Band – Schneewalzer

Whitburn Band opened up its Christmas season of yuletide music on its YouTube channel and Facebook page with a combined brass and choir extravaganza of singing and playing the famous German song Schneewalzer.

This arrangement, which features the Glasgow Phoenix Choir, was by Goff Richards and it is one of five tracks recorded by the band for the run-up to Christmas. We featured Whitburn and flugel soloist Caroline Farren last Friday with their performance of Away in a Manger.
