How Do You Fly?

Jamie Cullum arr. Greg Bearsell & Harry Baker

National Youth Choir (15-18 Years)

Released 13 December 2024
NYCR-0123


Our festive release How Do You Fly?, which follows Father Christmas through the starry skies on Christmas Eve, is out now! This beautiful new arrangement by conductor Greg Beardsell and composer Harry Baker transforms Jamie Cullum’s fully orchestrated original track into a spine-tingling 8-part a cappella piece. How Do You Fly?, from Jamie’s 2020 album The Pianoman at Christmas, is a gorgeous reflection on the wonder and potential within us all, especially the importance of holding onto the childlike magic of Christmas. National Youth Choir (15-18 Years)’ heartfelt interpretation has great warmth and depth, making it a must-listen for festive playlists.
