COMING THIS FALL!
SOUNDING JOY!

I am thrilled to announce the follow-up to Snow Angel, my original Holiday CD, released on Olivia Records in 1985. Let me tell you a bit about this new music. Some of it is actually quite old. There are traditional pieces from the 13th-15th centuries, featuring classically beautiful melodies and old style language. There are new songs I've crafted just for this cd, and what a great time I've had creating them! There is a song about being snowbound in a ranch house, crowded up in a joyous fashion with all sorts of Western characters; there is a song based upon the O. Henry tale about a young married couple on their first Christmas; a song about the Fourth Wise Man, and many, many others which I hope reflect the comfort and joy of the Season -- whatever that Season means to you. Most of this music celebrates the holiday I traditionally celebrate but, I hope, as always, that it is inclusive enough to include your traditions as well. Basically, it is the end of the darkest day of the year and the endless hope for a new and light-filled world. I so hope you will enjoy this music.

This time we are including a special chance to have us bring a private concert to you. We will handle everything and do a show for up to 30 people for the lucky recipient. It can be for a special occasion, for a special person or a benefit for your favorite group. There are a few conditions to this opportunity (location/timing etc), and they can be had by emailing me at cris@criswilliamson.com.
