A Classical-Style Christmas: 10 Expressive Arrangements Inspired by Mozart Compositions

Book Overview

A Classical-Style Christmas combines memorable Christmas carols with excerpts from some of Mozart's most wonderful works. The arrangements are not all written in Classical-period styling; you will hear some Romantic and Contemporary sounds as well.
