Album Notes

The talented Lester family--Marie Lester Loy, soprano, RoseAnn Lester, violin, David Lester, double bass, and Noel Lester, piano, bring another Christmas gift in "Rejoice!" They have included some standard seasonal pieces by such masters as Bach, Pachelbel, Handel, and Mozart, and have also included some recent carol arrangements for violin/double bass/piano by Eugenie Rocherolle. A special feature of this CD are the arrangements written especially for them by composer Wayne L. Wold. Also, 100% of CD sales will be donated to such charities as the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity.

Composer/arranger Wayne Wold writes:
"As the arranger of three pieces on this recording, I can say that the Lesters not only capture my intentions--they exceed them. Bravo! Wayne L. Wold, D.M.A., Associate Professor of Music at Hood College.

Richard Banks, writing for Christmas Reviews.com called the disc "elegantly arranged, meticulously constructed and exquisitely performed." Carol Swanson, another reviewer on the same website said, "There is much to love here...first-rate...outstanding." To read their complete reviews, go to www.christmasreviews.com

And Jan Holly, writing in the Maryland Gazette, wrote of the CD: "Its elegance and intimate eloquence conjures up the wistful wonder of Christmas past, with its snowy fields, crystalline air and full moon in the winter's night sky."
