Christmas Music at EPCOT

We just came home from a week at the World, our 9th December trip since 1997--without doubt, the best time of the year to go.

Question: Does anyone have any information about the Christmas music that plays in EPCOT around the dancing fountain? Is there a CD with that music on it? The loop includes "Good King Wenceslas," "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," and "Carol of the Bells," among others. I'm particularly interested in a piece that follows "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" (I think) that begins with a brass fanfare, then follows with strings. It is really quite beautiful and I have been searching in vain for information about the piece--title, author, orchestra, etc.

I will appreciate any information you can pass along.

I believe the piece you're talking about may be Christmas Festival by Leroy Anderson. I don't have the exact loop to listen to, but Christmas Festival matches what you describe and I know Disney uses the piece in one of its magic kingdom loops. I don't know of a Disney released CD of Christmas music, although you can find a version of the song I'm talking about on Itunes.
