Christmas in the Royal City (2010)
At Christmas, the mystery of the incarnation is celebrated with joy and jubilation through music that mediates the contradictions between divinity and humanity expressed in the story of Jesus’ birth. Whether one is a believer, a sceptic, or an atheist, one cannot but imbibe the essence of hope in the birth of a new era upon hearing the carols of Christmas. At their core, the message of “peace to all those of good will” is reflected in these simple, enchanting songs.
Goode Cheare (2003)
Much of the music on this compact disc is about the integration of the Christmas story into a society’s myths, and the mode of their presentation is an adaptation of old carols and texts to the jazz and world-music idioms of the 21st century. Accompanied by the Oliver Whitehead Jazz Ensemble, these carols, old and new, are alternately soulful and lively with instrumental improvisations that give them their distinctive character.
