The "Happy Polka" formula was coined by the legendary band leader James Last: well-known, traditional polka melodies, backed by a beat groove, arranged in a big band sound with the brass section dominating. For decades, this recipe for success has been adapted for various groups and always encourages young and old to clap and sing along. With his new "Happy Polka Party", Stefan Schwalgin presents an exciting arrangement for our POPS FOR BRASS series. Five absolute "top sellers" of folk music in this medley are guaranteed to be a hit with every audience. Imaginative and musically sophisticated, the "Happy Polka Party" gives the musicians the same joy as the listeners. Enjoy!
