Title: Quiet and Beautiful Music for the Season
Review: This collection is one of the top three albums of my over 500 CD collection of holiday music. I find The Man from Ceasaria to bring a refreshing MidEast flavor to any celebration, and the Return of the Magi is especially moving. John Doan's version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is one of the perfect evocations of how the holiday feels as you're packing up the ornaments and reflecting on all that's happened in this season and seasons past.This album is especially suited to sitting quietly by the fire or dozing off to sleep -- or anytime that the joy and hecticness of the season threatens to make you forget the real reasons behind it.
