Thank you to all who have attended Clarion's
This Is What Christmas Sounds Like
concerts over the years.
We are sorry that we were unable to present
​a live performance in 2020.
Silent Night is one of the most popular Christmas carols of all time,
yet not the most conventional choice for performance by twelve brass and percussion instruments.
​My solution was to compose the silence as a winter dreamscape.

​Along with this evocation of a dream world,
and because its mood resonates as a calm answer to so much of what the year has brought us,
​Silent Night seemed like the perfect choice to meld with video images.
In lieu of coming to a Clarion performance,
​please accept this invitation to immerse yourself in a moment of dreaming.
​Many people have told me that for them
"it's not Christmas without Clarion."

But did you know you can stuff 14 musicians
in a stocking?
 Clarion's CDs let you keep the holiday spirit year-round &
​spread the quirky joy!
Order any or all of them now as a gift for yourself
or your friends.
Thank you for listening & enjoy the music!
Wm. Berry​​

​A Partridge in a Pear Tree.
For more Clarion video, see the 2007 Northwest Profiles episode produced by KSPS Television featuring
William Berry & Clarion Brass on William's bio page.
​This incredible brass choir has been performing since 1992, recorded a bunch of CDs of original music written and arranged specifically for the group, and is known for breaking through stylistic barriers by playing in every imaginable genre.
“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane
​by those who could not hear the music.”
