CHRISTMAS CEDAR AND SPRUCE –Good King Wenceslas
Joel Brown, Peter Madcat Ruth, Chris Brubeck
Perhaps you’d wish to double down on the warm and cozy aspects of the Holiday season. This arrangement of the iconic Good King Wenceslas lends a folksy tone to the piece, led by guitarist Joel Brown with support from bassist Chris Brubeck and Peter Madcat Ruth on the Harmonica. You’ve heard this tune a lot of times in the past, but it’s never sounded so fresh as it does here.
“Christmas music has always been my favorite part of the holiday season. I still feel a flood of excitement and joy when I think of standing in our little hometown church singing in unison with family and friends. I hope the music on this recording will bring some of that same feeling to you.”
Joel Brown, guitarist
CHRISTMAS CEDAR AND SPRUCE
CHRISTMAS CEDAR AND SPRUCE was inspired by a concert and TV show featuring Brown’s arrangements of Christmas tunes for a student guitar ensemble. It was such a success that he was encouraged to create this recording.
