Sounds of the Season is a unique publication featuring 12 magnificent Christmas carol arrangements for solo instrument or voice and piano by Kenneth Downie, William Himes and Andrew Wainwright. Each solo also comes complete with high quality full orchestral MP3 accompaniment tracks, as included in this download. These stunning accompaniments have been mixed using the finest orchestral libraries, including the sounds of the BBCSO Symphony Orchestra, Berlin Orchestra, Spitfire Symphony Orchestra and Royal Albert Hall Organ, giving soloists the experience of performing with a full live orchestra! This re-issue (released in October 2024) replaces the original tracks that were launched in 2021.
This resource will be ideal for soloists wishing to carol on a street corner or in a shopping mall while playing the backing tracks through a speaker, or equally in a concert setting accompanied by a pianist.
