After Hours Christmas

Book excerpt: Back-to back parties, last-minute shopping, wrapping-up presents, cooking the turkey - sometimes Christmas can leave you feeling exhausted. What better way to enjoy the good things about the season than to chill out with music from Pam Wedgwood's After Hours Christmas? With a variety of original pieces and arrangements of classic carols from Europe and North America, After Hours Christmas contains styles to suit any mood: Away In a Manger as a laid-back jazz waltz, The Angel Gabriel and In Dulci Jubilo as wistful ballads, and a bossa nova Ding! Dong! Merrily on High. The collection also contains a mix of piano solos and duets for you to enjoy on your own or with friends and family. So conjure up the magical atmosphere of Christmas and relax with these lush harmonies and well-loved melodies. What's more, Pam has created some cool and funky backing tracks, which are available as free downloads.
