DESCRIPTION:
This is a recording of me accompanying the FANTASTIC Mapleton Chorale on Ron Staheli's vibrant, whimsical arrangement of "We Need a Little Christmas" (w/ Cory Mendenhall conducting)!! ♪♪ We had an absolute blast learning/performing this song in 2011 & 2012! I created my own piano part for this arrangement (which I tried to make as colorful & technically demanding as possible). I collected some fun & festive photos for this music video to help illustrate all of the lyrics. This energetic performance was recorded live @ our "Carols & Confections" concert on 12/12/12 @ Maple Mountain High School...enjoy! :)

Oh, & make sure to listen for these fun extra tunes scattered throughout the arrangement: “O Christmas Tree” (0:50 - 0:53), “Joy to the World” (1:07 – 1:13), “Für Elise” (1:14 – 1:17), “Over the River & through the Woods” (1:29 – 1:32), “Silent Night” (1:48 – 2:02 & 3:49 – 3:52), “Deck the Halls” (2:03 – 2:06), “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” (2:19 – 2:38), & “Jingle Bells” (3:41 – 3:44). ;)
