M. Carros

A Christmas Dance Party

Michel Carros wrote a fine swinging arrangement of some famous Christmas Songs. In fact he presents some Christmas evergreens in different dance rhythms. The party starts with the German carol O Tannenbaum and the American evergreen Jingle Bells both played in a swinging foxtrot tempo. Jingle Bells is subsequently performed in a genuine Dixieland style, before the foxtrot rhythm comes back. Next comes the German Christmas song O du fröhliche and to conclude, still in swinging foxtrot tempo, we hear the celebrated French carol Il est né le divin enfant (Gloria in Excelsis).
