Leveranstid: Skickas vanligtvis inom 2-5 dagar
Christmas wears many faces - Peace, The Virgin born child, incarnation and temptations facing the unexplainable, are celebrated with morning chant, christmas trees and cartoon films on the TV. Beside the church traditions and contemplation about the spiritual message of the season, the commersial stress, trafic jam and last-minute-presents roar. Togetherness, warmth and sincerity are strengthened amongst family and friends while lonelyness grows enormously for those missing somebody to share the event with.
This the second CD from Svanholm Singers Male Chamber Choir consists of 20 snapshots from the various moments and shapes of Christmas. The music covers from Medievial hymns, romantic era songs and Russian chant up to contemporary music. The warm, cosy feeling in traditional Christmas songs, the candles in the small cottage, folk dancing and hot food plates are contrasted by modern tales of a rough Nordic winter landscape and streets full of snow. Spirituality and mysticism stand side by side with the common and playfull in this the darkest month of the year - december!
