On Christmas Night

Elektra’s 2019 Christmas CD brings together evocative choral music from Canada, the US, Romania, and Spain. Original works range from the stunning opening track, A Cradle Song by Eric Tuan, to Stephen Smith’s exuberant new The Time of Christëmas and the charming partner song by Abbie Betinis, Romance in Waltz Time. And what better season to connect with centuries-old melodies than Christmas? From the traditions of Romania, France, Spain, Germany, England, Ireland, and a Mennonite hymn book, this disc offers fresh and dynamic arrangements by Shawn Kirchner, Kitka Women’s Vocal Ensemble, Cassie Luftspring, Stephen Smith, and Bernat Vivancos. These are first recordings of many of these works, six of which were written for Elektra. Laura Hawley’s Carol Trilogy is the featured work.
