About this musical offering...
The Advent and Christmas seasons have been wonderful sources of inspiration for composers and poets for centuries. Some of the most memorable and iconic works in the history of music have been created to honor the spirit of Christmas. As we looked at the cultural antecedents of our own musical traditions, we found wonderful examples of distinctive seasonal works brought to us by immigrants from across Europe who enriched our sonic milieu. We celebrate this diversity of musical ritual for Advent through the New Year from c. 1300–c. 1900, along with some newly composed offerings with our own style, in our own musical language, inspired by those who came before.
Recorded live December 7–9, 2018 & December 13–15, 2019 at First English Lutheran Church, First Presbyterian Church, and St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, Austin, TX. Jay Norwood, engineer.
