Adeste Fidelis

Arranged for the WDR Big Band (Germany), Richard DeRosa has written a beautiful masterpiece on this traditional Christmas favorite. Scored as a full ensemble chorale, this moving piece is filled with fluid cantabile lines, engaging counterpoint, lush harmonies, interesting modulations and gorgeous ensemble climaxes. The use of the rhythm section is kept to a minimum, with only bass and drums/triangle, as the focus is on a pure chorale sound. Soaring trumpets glide this Christmas favorite to a pleasing finale.  DeRosa's interpretation of Adeste Fideles is a fantastic addition to any holiday concert program, and will surely stun and move your audiences with its allure.
