Mills on the Merrimack presents a musical portrait of Lowell, MA and its mill town traditions. Opening with a view of the river on a misty morning, the music flows with the river into the city of Lowell where industry and the Irish heritage of its settlers is represented. These two main musical themes are then brought together in a way that depicts the bond between the city and its founding citizens. (3:45) This title available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Jingle Bells is a Christmas hit known all over the world, so why not play it in some diverse global styles? This was Konrad Koselleck's initial thought when he began working on this arrangement. The opening takes us straight into a Disney movie, then some Irish flutes invite you to take a sleigh ride somewhere up north in Lapland. Down by the river Volga a Russian hero sings a ballad and a complete Rimsky-Korsakov orchestra answers. A harp invites you for a French waltz a la Ravel . . . or is it Strauss? Thereafter a Bavarian polka sets the right tempo to finish the song, sounding like a Big Band with a boulevard of Hollywood strings before Rudolf leaves us with a last farewell. Just have fun.
