Among classics dressed in new harmonic sounds you will enjoy jazz and pop intonations as well as gospel renditions of Go Tell It and Joyful. The skandinavien Christmas songs are particularly special: contemplative and musical even droll as in the story about the Christmas troll in the finnish Tomtarnass Julnatt.The Christmas Choirbook offers many stylistic choices for the Christmas and Advent season choir music so let the available CD (ED 9896-50) inspire you in the joyful singing of these pieces. Of course the recordings meant only as a first andhopefully appealing impression represent only a few of the many possible interpretations you will bring to the arrangements.Full verses were intentionally not recorded although we did overlay simple instrumental accompaniments to the a cappella movements. In addition the CD includes pure choire versions as well as some sing-a-longs i.e. instrumental tracks for you to use as half-playback.
