The mystery and intangible essence of Christmas has been celebrated in song across the centuries. We honor the season with a sumptuous and diverse feast of Christmas music from the cultures and  the composers who helped shape many of our holiday traditions! We continue this creative musical practice with our own style, in our own musical language, inspired by those who came before.

 Recorded live December 11, 2010 and December 10 & 11, 2011 at First English Lutheran Church & First Presbyterian Church, Austin, TX. Jay Norwood, Recording Engineer.
