Program Notes

The long-awaited Minor Alterations sequel is here -- now 31% more twisted! More familiar holiday melodies transposed from major to minor, only now they're set in the style of famous minor-keyed orchestral pieces. You'll will never be the same after hearing O Holy Night set against Ride of the Valkryies.
