Composed by Gary Daigle and Rory Cooney. Sacred. CD. GIA Publications #432. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-CD-432). This brilliant first solo effort by gifted singer Theresa Donohoo is a splendid mix of traditional Christmas songs and newer material, all beautifully arranged and guaranteed to please a variety of musical tastes. Listeners will be captivated by haunting folk music generously laced with popular Celtic sounds, including the bodhran, whistle, and uillean pipes for a decidedly Irish flavor. New interpretations of several well-known carols-including a Gaelic version of The First No¥l with its soft, lilting strains-are sure to charm the musical ear. A medieval flavor permeates the collection, and the beguiling Carol of the Strangers is destined to become a Christmas classic for church groups. Fresh arrangements of I Saw Three Ships, Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, and Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow bring dramatic new dimensions to these enchanting strains. Ms. Donohoo lends a captivating new melody and treatment to Brian Wren's Advent Herald.B.
