5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful, unusual, beautiful album,

This review is from: This Endris Night (MP3 Download)
This album features traditional songs in deceptively classic sounding arrangements, but has a very fresh sound as a result of the interesting instrumentation, the choice of some less common carols in place of the standard roster, and the singer's clear voice and comfort in using various languages. (The Huron Carol, for instance, begins in what I assume is a Huron language, then switches to French, then English. I've never heard it that way before.)On the whole, this is an album that could provide a pleasant background to a family celebration, but is musically interesting enough to repay closer attention as well.

A lovely alternative to the same old holiday music,

This Endris NightWe listen to a LOT of Christmas music. My husband is an organist at an Episcopal church and we both happen to like Christmas music anyway. Having said that this album ranks among our favorites. The arrangements are fresh and lovely; bowed psaltery, hammered dulcimer and recorders intertwine with timeless melodies and understated percussion. Heather's voice is clear, expressive and lovely. Her unique jazzy version of "The Holly and the Ivy" alone would be worth picking up this album for but her treatments of "Patapan", "I Saw Three Ships" and "The Huron Carol" are also of special note. This will become a favorite on your holiday playlist!!
