Holiday Music
I’ve set my favorite holiday tunes in a variety of ways over the years, creating full orchestral charts, a cappella gems, and all sorts of combinations in between. There’s something here for every program. If you don’t see what you need and have a particular vocal or instrumental combination in mind, email me. Nearly anything can be created!

“Ryan Brandau’s captivating holiday arrangements are in a class by themselves. They engender joy and beauty with their unique orchestrations and beautiful choral word painting. I’ve had the pleasure of playing these inventive arrangements for years and they are unfailingly gratifying.”
“Your beautiful arrangement was the hit of the concert. The audience loved it. The singers and orchestra loved it. The you for the care and craft of this set. It will become part of the Cincinnati tradition.”
“Each year, I look forward to performing holiday arrangements by Ryan Brandau. They are beautifully composed and feature lush harmonizations that add new depth to familiar melodies. The parts are idiomatic for each instrument and are a pleasure to play. I highly recommend these arrangements: They’re a joy for performers and audiences alike.”
“We all loved performing your carols and our audience was just as thrilled. The applause at the end of “Wassail” was beyond our expectations!”
