A un niño llorando - Christmas with Quink Vocal Ensemble (CD)

The musical content of this CD proves that Christmas inspired composers for many centuries. Of course one may think in terms of a religious feast but Christmas is celebrated also as an important family feast, Santa, reindeer, sleigh and presents included. The result is a pattern-card with texts and melodies from different times and countries. The order of the numbers 8-21 on this CD is thus arranged that it is most pleasant to the listener in respect of tonality and character of the pieces involved. By arranging the numbers 1-7, 8-21 and 22-24 we tried to create a more or less chronological order and a successive order in styles.
