Happy Polka Party Diverse / Arr. Stefan Schwalgin

The Happy Polka formula was shaped by the legendary bandleader James Last: well-known, traditional polka melodies underlaid with a beat groove, arranged in a big band sound dominated by brass instruments. For decades, this recipe for success has lived on in adaptations for various ensembles and continues to inspire young and old alike 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 hits of traditional folk music ensure this medley is a sure-fire success with any audience. Imaginative and musically refined, the Happy Polka Party brings just as much joy to the musicians as it does to the listeners. Enjoy!
