JINGLE BELLS (James Lord Pierpont) - String Quartet arranged by Rodrigo Botter Maio MERRY CHRISTMAS

JINGLE BELLS (James Lord Pierpont) with String Quartet arranged by Rodrigo Botter Maio - MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Dear friends, I hope you are all well and healthy!

First of all: FELIZ NATAL, MERRY CHRISTMAS, FROHES WEIHNACHTEN, , BUON NATALE, JOYEUX NOËL, FELIZ NAVIDAD!

Today I am making a big exception after around 4 years of making video. I just put a Christmas video last Saturday (if you didn't see it, I encourage you to go there and search the song HAPPY XMAS, THE WAR IS OVER (John Lennon) but after our beautiful concert in the Foyer of the Zurich Opera I was not able to wait one year to send you this.

First of all, 2 months ago we had 2 concerts at the beautiful Spiegelsaal at the Opera. After that they invited us to play in one of the ADVENTS CONCERTS that the Opera organizes from December 1st until December 23rd. And specially for this concert, I took an old Piano Arrangement that I made once and re-arranged it for 4 Strings. It was so nice that during the soundcheck I asked my friends if I could film them and here is the result of it.
I also make this video because not only many friends of mine from here could not make for the concert because of the time, but also so many friends from far away asked me if I filmed something. Yes and here it is for you.

I thought it was going to be a very easy video production just putting the names and the beginning and the end, but actually I have been working in this since last week, always making changes and looking for the best result.
For the first time I have music in the beginning. Why? Because I made this other new arrangement specially for this and I really wanted to use.
And at the end you can hear the same arrangement that the strings are playing, but just the parts A1 and A2 of it.

With this video I want to wish you all Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. 2024 was not an easy year but here we are and let's go for the new one. 2025 should come, we will protect ourselves with our music :-)

Don't forget to subscribe my channel and and most important: leave a message on youtube, it is so nice to read it afterwords :-)
You also can send this link to your family and friends.

Take care and all the best, Rodrigo
Peace in the world!
