Brand New Christmas Music!

As we enter the 2018 festive season I can now tell you about an album I actually wrote this May...it was quite strange writing and arranging Christmas music in the boiling hot springtime, but as you know I'm Mr. Christmas so I didn't mind!

I thought I'd spare you though, dear supporters, until the time came. The time is now. Presenting "Orchestral Christmas"! Just like "Sketches of Christmas" it features brand new orchestral compositions by me, and also some new arrangements of well-loved Christmas classics.

It's the first album for which I've actually created an instrument. Every year at the Christmas table I end up playing Christmas tunes on a collection of the many different-sized glasses you tend to end up with, judiciously adding or (ahem) subtracting liquid in order to tune them. I used this instrument extensively on this album, to add festive flavour throughout!

The difference is that this album is not available to the public for download, I'm afraid. It's released to the media industry for use in TV, film & advertising. However you can listen for free at my publisher's site here:

And please remember to listen to 2016's "Sketches of Christmas" this year too. It's on iTunes and Spotify, and you can buy and download your own copy from www.nikhaley.com too.
