Jason Vancura I'd agree if Pentatonix hadn't done it. Have you heard their version? (not an advertisement, I'm just curious) This version would be my second favorite.
This song holds a special memory for me. My mother used to sing at church and they always did a Christmas choir. This was the exit song. I used to work the lights and crank this up as they exited. I hope you get your Christmas play memory someday!

What a splendid melody! My Grannie would listen to this on Christmas morning, and it has found a special place in my heart. Now that she's departed, I ensure it's played every Christmas morning without fail. My heart smiles each time I hear it now. Simply lovely, absolutely lovely.
This always made me think of a Christmas special in a Crime Scene Investigation show. It would fit perfectly, I always pictured one of the CSI techs hurriedly driving through the snowy night as this plays.
@@jasonvancura2139 Well, it certainly puts a new meaning to the whole "he's gonna find out if you're naughty or nice" line. 😅 I mean, Santa is a walking lie detector test. 😜 And I can just see the elves playing up the "good cop/bad cop" angle. 😝
Reminds me of my freshman year of high school five years ago. I was in my school’s band on trumpet and we played this and other Mannheim Steamroller songs
My high school band director always has our wind ensemble play this as an encore piece at the end of our yearly Grand Holiday concert. Holy heck I am going to miss that in college.
Best Christmas album/cd ever. We have played it so many years. My family calls it “the Gold Mannheim CD” to compare to the others. Now as I am older and especially since my Dad passed, it is a treasured keepsake. ❤
seeing this in concert in Birmingham, AL was simply amazing. This music was my childhood and I cried because I was so happy to see and hear them in person! XD
LOTRlover100 woah really? That's where I live, I haven't seen Mannheim steamroller in concert yet but I saw transiberion orchestra and it was amazing, I know this was posted 2 years ago but that's cool you got to see them, is it good in concert? I've always wanted to go
saw your post and my tears started flowing...see what you did, got my works a workin… Seen them on 11-26-19 on My Birthday, they came to Oklahoma City...Wow...loved it.
I too saw Manheim Steamroller on concert in 2014. I was thrilled to finally be able to do so. It was a magical, wonderful, and moving concert, Including this favorite. ❤❤
This has always been my Very Favorite cover of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by far ....It is Exhilarating & so Powerful ! Glory to God in the Highest & on Earth Peace to men of Good will,,, but no peace or rest for the wicked
Listening to this while driving my 18 wheeler and feeling like no one should mess with me! When the snow hits, NO ONE should mess with this steamroller!
@@williamandrews781 Aw - lighten up, why don't you. I hate arrogant drivers as much as anyone, and I believe USA Rescue just meant that there are songs that scream to be blasted (and there probably aren't too many others who dislike loud music as a general rule than me) while driving and make you feel like the world is your oyster and doesn't really have anything to do with his driving attitude or skills driving his rig. I do the same with Fum Fum Fum. Whether I'm driving my Tuscon or cleaning the house, MS just makes me feel like nothing is wrong in the world - a great feeling. MS Christmas songs are meant to be cranked up no matter what you're doing, or what time of the year it is. No harm meant, I don't think.
@@williamandrews781 take a fucking joke, jeez man! Do you really think he's actually gonna do this? People like you is what ruins the happiness in the world! Cuz all you see is death and sadness!
We played this in my high school symphonic band every Christmas concert. I can still remember the key strokes and finger chords for the entire thing. This song has a great of memory for me.
Growing up in the '90's, around Christmas time my dad would break out the Mannheim Steamroller CD's. We had a pair of Boston Acoustics A400 tower speakers running through an Onkyo A808 amplifier that would piss off the neighbors at even ¼ volume. This was always my favorite song, followed by Good King Wenceslas. Now I'm 36 and I still listen to Mannheim Steamroller around Christmas time.
There are only a few songs that make me cry when I listen to it and this is one of them especially the beginning. Thank you to my Mother who got me hooked on Mannheim I will forever listen to this because of you. Rest in Heaven Mom 🙏🏾💙
This song is from my favorite christmas anime! Santa Claus is barely holding his own against Krampus. The best fight in the entire show to be honest! Then Santa was able to use a technique that let him absorb the energy of Christmas Joy and completely overpowered Krampus with his signature move: Silent Night!
Awesome version! Love Manheim Steamroller. I find their music totally invigorating. If I'm feeling down their music raises me right up. Brilliant!! Bravo!
This Christmas CD of there's is by far one of the best collections of holiday music. This particular piece is upbeat, yet steeped in the spirit of the song and its meaning. Well done!!
I remember hearing this when I was 2 years old when this first came out in 1984. It always reminds me of those Christmases living in East Keansburg, New Jersey in the mid 80s and childhood in Deposit, New York. We moved to Deposit when I was 5 years old. I miss you mom & daddy, rest easy.
I’m listening to this in October, as I love it, and needed to hear it during this crazy covid time while the words go through my mind, Remember Christ our savior was born on CHristmas day, to save us all from satans power, when we were gone astray.
So when did all I want for Christmas is you replace this in all the malls speakers? They used to get you PUMPED when you went shopping listening to this 😂😂
Toy piano also gets sweet (almost tear-inducing) use at the end of their "Stille Nacht," and it's a feature instrument in their "Midnight on a Full Moon" from Fresh Aire III.
i heard this for the first time last night on WNIC while i was putting up the christmas tree, and immediately thought of waterflame's hexagon force and assumed that this was made in the 80's because i know that hexagon force was supposed to sound like it was made in the 80's, even though it was made in 2014. so basically this is my christmas alternative to hexagon force.
I have 2 Mannheim Steamroller CD’s that I’ll be playing till January 3,2021 & all of my Christmas music CD’s & the Christmas & Winter music songs of various artists as well.
Sounds like wood panel walls a yellow lit tree with 90s coca cola commercial with that truck paying on a wood box zenith on a cigarette smelled room and snow on a nightsky outside
Yes, it's November 1st, and yes, I'm listening to this masterpiece Edit (one year later): Still applies! There's nothing like clicking on this for the first time in almost a year, seeing that screen fade in, and hearing that beautiful trumpet intro. Its really cool because I know every part and dynamic like as if I heard it yesterday. Its probably because I listened to it on loop for hours at a time last year! Edit (two years later, November 5th): Still feels like it was yesterday I heard this, everything still applies! I remember each placement of every drum beat, I can't believe it...

@@SerafiniAGaunt Now what to do for a random encounter theme?

Excellent for rolling down a highway at 80 mph heading home for the hollidays...or anytime
Unfortunately, I don't think Jesus will be able to get you out of the speeding ticket lol.
I want this for a curtain call if I ever put together a Christmas play.
This song holds a special memory for me. My mother used to sing at church and they always did a Christmas choir. This was the exit song. I used to work the lights and crank this up as they exited. I hope you get your Christmas play memory someday!
This rendition is brilliant, but, when the strings come in at 2:42, this song is raised to almost angelic heights! Always brings a tear to my eyes!
I see what you mean at 2:42....🎅👌🤨🇬🇷🎄☃️
It sort of reminds me of Electric Light Orchestra.
It is a very strong piece
So beautiful!
The French horn always makes me shiver. I hear optimism in this version, very hopeful rendition. ❤
2:32 - 2:59 that one part by the French Horn, or Trombone, gives me chills EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Sounds like a horn to me
It's a trombone
It's perfect!
Chip Davis is brilliant. This rendition is incredible.

One of the best Christmas songs ever

Just heard this on the radio and had to look it up!
It came of the radio before I could listen to it now I gotta wait it comes back on
Same!
This album reminds me of Christmas mornings when I was a kid. My momma, daddy, and brother used to listen to it when we opened gifts. Good times.
Haha, same. Or decorating the tree.
i just asked my mom to remind me what the album we listened to on christmas was, and she sent me this video 🥹

I think of holiday shoppers flurrying through a blowing snow to shop at a mall.
Such a heroic sound. Makes me imagine noble knights in a castle.
Synthesizers can do that.
I've been listening to this since it first came out and I still get goosebumps. Merry Christmas!
I dont care if its only November 1st! Im breaking out the Egg Nog and listening to some Mannheim Steamroller Christmas NOW!
AYEEEE
Not early enough
Amen man

It's the middle of January and I'm still drinking my nog listening to this!

I’ll always remember this song being in Rush’s bumper rotation for Christmas songs at Christmas time.
miss that man on the air waves, when he went it's just like times gave way to a wild world with no sense of reality

Listening to this while driving my 18 wheeler and feeling like no one should mess with me! When the snow hits, NO ONE should mess with this steamroller!

I played this in my high school band. We also did Deck the Halls and Angels We Have Heard on High
2:38-3:35 I love that interval -- it's so epic and cool!!
The French horn kills it with its few notes lol
This one's great, one of the best tunes of Manheimsteamroller.
Christmas meets badass...
I have just seen the Mannheim red orchestra in concert in Elmira NY, great show. Two standing O's at the end.
We played this in my high school symphonic band every Christmas concert. I can still remember the key strokes and finger chords for the entire thing. This song has a great of memory for me.

This song tops my list of my favorite christmas songs
What can I say that the music is Not saying - wonderful music by Mannheim!!
Just tortured the replay button.
This is an amazing song
Great hear its Christmas 2019 wow
Someone needs to make an hour loop of this where it doesn't die out after 3:33. Easier for everyone needing to tab back and replay every 4:22.
There are only a few songs that make me cry when I listen to it and this is one of them especially the beginning. Thank you to my Mother who got me hooked on Mannheim I will forever listen to this because of you. Rest in Heaven Mom 🙏🏾💙
It's the Christmas season again!

This song sounds like it should be in a anime of some sort it’s that incredible
Exactly what I thought
This is my favorite Christmas song 👏👏👏
If "This Christmas....we mean business" was a song.

ngl I would watch the hell out of this
Someone please make a small animation of this! 😭 if not this year, then next and send it to me!
This show needs to exist
I know I'm 3 yes late but the silent night signature move sounds like it would be like and elbow drop 🤣
If Christmas had a forest section in an rpg
Awesome version! Love Manheim Steamroller. I find their music totally invigorating. If I'm feeling down their music raises me right up. Brilliant!! Bravo!

Absolutely Epic
Once again, a fantastic, totally unique arrangement of an old classic. I especially like the toy piano!

This sure made me sit up and listen. Wonderful.
One of the few holiday songs I actually like
It's Nov 6th. That time of the year is fast approaching! 😊
Christmas + Castlevania
I listen to this all the TIME!!!!!!!
always make me feel like its battle music for a fight happening at christmas.
how amm i just now realizing this has always been my favorite MS song? and here i am googling "deck the halls" and whatnot
1:45 - 2:38 is so good
One of his best no doubt at all

Love all Steamroller music. There's a new Christmas song they do, but I can't find it. Anyone know what it is?
There’s two versions of this song; I always play the other one first, then this one.
It's not Christmas for me without Trans Siberian Orchestra and Manheim Steamroller.
Fantastic!
