5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, May 12, 2007

Conceptual music at its best. If you ever have the opportunity to participate in a Holiday performance of this piece take it! It is an experience you will not forget, listening to this CD brings back some of the magic of that night, but the recording stands very well on its own as well. Highly recommended.

Let me echo the previous reviews of this beautiful, evocative work! While it's clearly holiday music of the highest quality, it shouldn't be pigeonholed as only that, because it can be enjoyed throughout the year.

How do I describe it?

It feels minimalist, yet it's sumptuous, even lush. It's ambient, yet there's a strong melodic structure to it. It's quite contemporary, yet it feels both ancient & ageless. It shimmers, it chimes, it swells with angelic voices -- but flesh & blood angels!

Luckily, there are samples right here on the Product Page. If you're at all curious, eager to immerse yourself in something gorgeous & transporting, give them a listen. The odds are that you'll be ordering a copy as soon as possible, because it's one of those rare works that's uniformly strong from beginning to end. This one's a keeper!

This album was aired in full in a special 2007 Christmas program of "Stars End", the landmark 30-year-old Philadelphia radio show of electronic/space/ambient music. Its gorgeous tapestries of sound inspired by bells, Gregorian chant, and early medieval polyphony were the highlight to me of the entire five hours. I fell in love with it immediately and bought a copy from Amazon. Many subsequent hearings have maintained my delight: it wears well. I plan on making a Christmas gift of it this year for friends. This is a highly imaginative and atmospheric contribution to the genre.
