Holiday
The music of Christmas brings me back to the warm colonial house of my childhood.  With snow drifting outside, my father would build a fire in the fireplace each evening and we would gather by the hearth to sing the songs of the season.  The traditional Christmas carols that I have arranged for this album reflect the warmth and magic I felt as a child in our family room lit by the Christmas tree and the glow of the fire.  The original compositions on this recording are my attempt at capturing those feelings of peace, hope, warmth, and love that I feel most poignantly during the holiday season.  It is my hope that this music will add spirit to your holiday.--David Tolk (Holiday)
