This recording is the perfect soundtrack to create a holiday ambiance at a tree-trimming party, company cocktails, Christmas dinner, or just a quiet evening in your favorite chair beside the tree with a cup of hot cider close by. All your favorites are here as well as some new classics such as “A la ru” the lovely dancing lullaby from New Mexico and “A stable lamp is lighted” by the poet laureate Richard Wilbur with a beautiful musical setting by David Hurd.
The rich palette of colors and sounds heard on this recording reflect the wide spectrum of creativity found in the imaginative music program at St. John’s Cathedral, Denver under the direction of Mr. Donald Pearson. The choirs of the cathedral are augmented by the Aries Brass Quintet, a variety of percussion, flute and handbells.
