"...powerful and dramatic."
"... breathes new life into of some of the world's most popular music of the Christmas season. "
"We Three Kings" is particularly magnificent as a concerto for piano and string orchestra..."
It started out as a small project - Christmas music from our studio for friends and family to enjoy. It became the largest project we ever did. Steve Holt and Inner Music worked nearly a full year on the production of Christmas Light, a landmark recording of some of the most renowned carols with new arrangements. Gorgeous grand piano, majestic synths - acoustic and electronic instruments - heavenly music with fresh arrangements - this is what Christmas Light is about.
Almost every track represents a different musical genre with different orchestration. Arrangements vary from large ensembles with full orchestral accompaniment to pop/country rock, jazz, and folk. More than anything, this music will speak to you; it comes straight from the heart.
Christmas is a sacred time. It is a celebration of the greatest aspects of mankind. It is a celebration of peace on Earth. It is a celebration of spiritual enlightenment, the highest state of consciousness. It is an opportunity to rededicate ourselves to the highest spiritual ideals: Love. Service. Remembrance. Come and celebrate with us, and enjoy the music of Christmas.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS an absolute sensation.
In league with all sensational music, it
touches and soothes the savage beast that lurks in the human heart.
Steve's CD improvises upon traditional Christmas music
embodying the sound of ethereal flutes, enraptured piano, and his handiwork on the synthesizer attends the deep and penetrating sound of stringed instruments and percussions.
The effect is very cleansing, nourishing, uplifting, and inspiring.
I've only been playing mine in repeat mode..
It's simply beautiful stuff!
A gift from the gifted!

It's a Christmas CD, and funny enough I just finished listening to it. It's worthy of listening to year around. I bought one for my best friend; I know she'll love it too. It put me in the spirit to bake cookies. Thank you, Steve! Thank you, God, for giving Steve the talent and means to create this work of art.

Steve's music is very calming during the hectic hustle/bustle time of the Christmas Season. We especially enjoyed the almost haunting version of the Drummer Boy. But we truly enjoyed listening to all the selections. Nice quality Christmas music is often hard to find but we sure did find a goldmine here.. It is now a definite part of our home's holiday music.
Thanks Steve,
Art
