about

These arrangements masterfully fuse traditional Christmas music from around the world and across the centuries into a beautiful program guaranteed to put you in the Christmas spirit.

This CD, unlike nearly all other Christmas albums, was produced entirely during the season of Christmas. Thus, you can feel with first snowfall of the year, evenings spent celebrating with friends, and the joyous spirit that makes Christmas so special.

I grew up singing and loving Christmas music, so ultimately, I believe I had this one in me. Thus, I was delighted to have the opportunity to explore and record that deeply-held imagery and emotional memories.

One year in December I began work on Archguitar Christmas and, while it took until the following March to finish, I was able to create one of my most beloved recordings. Now you can gift yourself or someone you love the enduring spirit of Christmas.

A O R T A
by Vicky Chow

Christopher Cerrone's "Hoyt-Schermerhorn" is one of the finest pieces written since the turn of the century. Ms Chow displays an uncanny balance of emotional depth and structural clarity. Amazing! Peter Blanchette, archguitar
