(About MP3 downloads at CD Baby)

A Christmas Concert featuring ladies voices, harps, bells, with fiddle, cello and organ.

notes

This Christmas concert is Yuletide in miniature, from the preparation of Advent through the Twelfth Day of Christmas. Angels fly back and forth with messages, a boar's head is roasted, halls are decked. Kings and shepherds visit Jesus, friends visit friends, musicians celebrate. As the old year glides into the new, we reconsider the worth of our earthly goods. The rich reach out to the poor, and the poor give back surprising riches. All proceeds benefit the Community Music School of Santa Cruz.

  • Loved On the other shore. Need a follow up albumn

  • Delicious!
    author: mlofton

    A delicious cd...especially "Fiddler's Hymn". Real music played and sung by real people.

  • Lovely music - a must for reenactors
    author: Redwink

    I'm addicted to all holiday music, but this one is truly a gem. It not only combines my love of the holidays, but also of historical music. There's songs everyone knows, like Good King Wenceslas, and ones that were new to me (despite my 100+ Christmas music CD collection). Conditor Alme Siderum is just lovely and I was entranced by the a cappella version of the Hallelujah Chorus. As an added bonus, it's inspired me to do some research about some of the songs for my medieval re-enacting group. The liner notes have already given me a good starting place for that research. I'll definitely be sharing this with the good lords and ladies of my group!

  • Not just for Christmas anymore
    author: Henry S

    I bought this album because I heard its version of The Austin Lounge Lizard's 'The Other Shore' on KUT, our beloved public radio station here in Austin. I just can't imagine this song being done any better. The album is worth buying just for it. Much to my pleasure I discovered that the whole album is full of great songs. I can't heap enough praise on it. My whole family loves this album. We listen to it all year long. I loaned my copy to one of the Lizards and he didn't give it back! So my wife bought four more copies...just in case... Henry

    You may already have 100 Christmas CD's, but get one more! The talent from this non-profit orginazation is astounding. A good variety of selections, instrumentation, and arrangements.

  • This CD is beautiful and original, great for all seasons
    author: K Prescott

    This CD has a wonderful simple, rich quality. The voices are smooth and the choir blends beautifully. I love the choice of songs -- they include not only traditional holidy pieces but also very original ones, so this CD is great not just for the holidays but all year round.

  • This music and choir is what I imagine heaven to sound like.

    I heard this choir on the radio and immediatley knew that I wanted the CD for myself and one for my Mother. The fact that I went to OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP SCHOOL in Downey, Ca. added to the 'must have'energy. My Mother loves this and she played it throughout the holidays. I listen to it often and I feel in a wonderfully peaceful meditative state of mind when it is playing. Very Very Good. I hope to hear the choir live soon.
