Like eggnog and nutmeg, evergreen bows and a model train circling the nativity scene under the Christmas tree, brass, organ and
Christmas are an inseparable combination.
All of us in the Mainstreet Brass are thankful to organist George Boyer and Allen Organ Company for producing this recording,
which represents some of the Christmas favorites we've enjoyed since we first got together in November 1986. We've always looked
forward to the busy holiday season to bring out these carols and perform them in concert, at festivals and in church.
We're privileged to bring you this collection of Christmas favorites for brass, organ and organ and brass. On behalf of everyone
in the Mainstreet Brass and the staff at Allen Organ, we hope you enjoy this recording and make it part of your Christmas tradition.
