Christmas Impromptu: Improvisations on Christmas Carols
Christmas Impromptu is contemplative music for a season that is typically anything but calm or thoughtful. Christmastime always brings along with it festive music, pop songs, and merchandizing jingles. There is lots of hustle and bustle as we scurry to buy, wrap, cook, clean, and generally focus on external things. But how often do we experience the sweet, quiet joy of God's promise fulfilled in a newborn? Do we sit down with family or friends and read the Christmas narratives? Do we take time to actually thank our Heavenly Father for the gift of His Son? It is hoped that these improvised renditions of favorite carols may foster such devotional moments. Songs include “The First Noel,” “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Angels We Have Heard on High,” “What Child Is This?” and fifteen others.
