Christmas Cello

2010 holiday release. Billboard chart veteran, YouTube star and award-winning cellist Steven Sharp Nelson combines his unique percussion-cello sound and melodic, emotional arrangements into this, his third album. Lush 16-cello arrangements of beloved Christmas tunes such as 'Silent Night' beautifully balance syncopated, percussive arrangements of 'Carol of the Bells' and 'We Three Kings'. Fresh settings of unconventional Christmas tunes such as 'Simple Gifts' and 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring' round-out the appealing variety of Christmas Cello. Steven Sharp Nelson is again joined by his friends Jon Schmidt, Paul Cardall, Marshall McDonald and others in a collaborative mix of talent. This album embodies the Christmas season - the excitement of gift-giving and the warmth of lasting memories.
