"O Holy Night"
My wife and I have been watching Studio 60 this season (which, now that it's stopped preaching at us every week and focused on the story and characters, is a really good show). Last week they had a Christmas episode which was beautifully done, especially the final scene, an extended musical scene featuring performers from the Tipitina's Foundation, an organization that's helping musicians affected by Katrina.

They played the most beautiful arrangement of a Christmas song I've ever heard, "O Holy Night," featuring:

Troy Andrews, Trumpet
Kirk Joseph, Sousaphone
Roderick Paulin, Saxophone
Frederick Shepherd, Saxophone
Stephen Walker, Trombone
Mervin "Kid Merv" Campbell, Trumpet
Bob French, Drums

It's available as a free download at www.nbc.com/studio60, or you can right click/save this link.

The show was great and the music segment superb. I have two talented trumpet players in my family so have a great appreciation for brass ensembles. I plan to download the music. Thank you, J Mosley
