Arranged for the WDR Big Band (Germany), Richard DeRosa has written a beautiful masterpiece on this traditional Christmas favorite. Scored as a brass and horn chorale, this moving piece is filled with fluid cantabile lines, engaging counterpoint, lush harmonies and gorgeous ensemble climaxes. The use of rhythm section is kept to a minimum (only bass and drums/triangle) as the focus is on a pure chorale sound. 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 beauty. 5-4-4-2
