From the Artist

I had a lot of fun doing this CD. The arrangements came to me really quickly, which to me usually means that they are coming from a very good place . . . one over which I never have (or want) much control.

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Harmonious and Soothing, November 21, 2003

By A Customer

The creative genious of James Anthony Walker allows you to close your eyes and experience the gentle, almost hypnotic sounds of Christmas. His music is soothing; the delicate dulcimer, the tranquil strings, allowing you to relax and contemplate the true meaning of Christmas - Peace - Love - Tranquility.
I look forward to new introductions from this truley talented composer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Start to the Holiday Season, November 21, 2003

By A Customer

Christmas recordings like this one are a rare breed. We have all heard the various carols and know them well. We encounter them year after year sung and played in every imaginable way. Their familiarity is what is so comforting, allowing us to invoke the flavor of the season in a way no mere garland can muster. James Anthony Walker has taken us a step further in his wonderful arrangements of the standard holiday fare. The music is both social and intimate providing a host of possibilities for display. You will definitely feel the holiday spirit whether playing the recording as a backdrop for a festive gathering, an intimate Christmas Eve dinner or a solitary moment savoring the holiday mood. An extra bonus, though, is the unique way Walker has of approaching each carol. With the clear vision of a composer, Walker brings a fresh approach to each song. You can (and should) listen to each not only as a backdrop, but for the beautiful musicality displayed. For these, and so many other reasons, this Christmas recording should be in your collection.
