Editorial Reviews

Winter's Dance is Golden Bough's first collection of music for the Yuletide Season celebration.  Looking for an alternative to the usual re-working of traditional Christmas carols, Golden Bough came up with a collection of rare and unusual songs of Winter and Christmas from Ireland and Scotland.  Winter's Dance also includes a few better known carols in more traditional settings. TRACKLIST: 1. Christmas Day in the Morning; 2. The Holly and the Ivy; 3. The First Noel/We Three Kings/What Child is This?; 4. The Gloucestershire Wassail; 5. Tomorrow is my Dancing Day; 6. Det Va Den Heilage Jolekvell; 7. Logs to Burn; 8. It Came Upon A Midnight Clear; 9. Christmas Comes But Once A Year/Lord Mayo; 10. One Bottle More/Humors of Winter/Apples in Winter; 11. Down in Yon Forest; 12. Lullaby/Ma Chaora Bhan (My White Lamb)

This review is from: Winter's Dance: Christmas and Winter Songs (Audio CD)

These songs are beautifully executed. Some are a cappella. Simple, dreamy, other-worldly. Cleaning the fallen wood in my yard brings the song Logs To Burn into my mind. Too bad amazon does not offer listening samples for this CD. I also recommend John Renbourn's A Maid in Bedlam.
