Album Notes

"Noël éclectique" is a delightful mixture of holiday favorites in both French and English. You'll hear "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolph..." in both French and English, along with some traditional French carols in authentic French. The Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus brings a special coloring to "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "O Holy Night." They also join in a special holiday arrangement of well-known children's folk songs in a lively "Mannheim-style"medley. Imaginative arrangements appeal to kids of all ages.

In September 2000 Don was selected as one of seven performers from all over the United States to perform in Las Vegas at the Paris Hotel and Casino in celebration of the casino's first anniversary... and was the only non-French native to be chosen.

Antoinette Wagner, President of Alliance Française of Tucson
says about "Noël éclectique":

"Don Sheppard is a musical phenomenon who, this time,
manages to bring us both French and American Christmas
songs mingled together. Noël éclectique is sure to
touch all of us who grew up on both sides of the
Atlantic. His French is flawless. Vive la nostalgie!"
