Album Description
The selections on this disc evoke the weight, depth, beauty and mystery of the Nativity, helping listeners on a reflective journey from traditional carols through Baroque classics as they ponder the modern implications of an event that transpired 2,000 years ago.

The first nine tracks are traditional carols, melodies that conjure pastoral images of shepherds dancing while a babe is being rocked to sleep. The last six tracks are from Baroque masters who layer on additional complexity for listeners along the way.
