The American Record Guide calls the Millar Brass Ensemble........"one of the best in the U.S." Fanfare Magazine describes the groups first recording as.........."clear, clean and crisp. This is how brass music should sound when recorded............the performers are clearly dedicated musicians. I doubt you will find it better done." As artists in residence at Northwestern University's Alice Millar Chapel, the group was founded in 1981 and continues today, concertizing, recording and performing ceremonial music and worship services at the Chapel. Nearly all of the arrangements on this album are arranged by Phil Snedecor and are available through Robert King Music Sales. John Wasson is the arranger of Sleigh Ride and can be purchased at his website, johnwasson.com.
