Awarded Top Pick of 2012 by MainlyPiano.com, "A Classic Christmas" is a collection of 14 piano arrangements of favorite holiday songs. When I set out to compose a Christmas album, I wanted it to be different from other holiday piano albums. While listening to my son practice classical pieces, I began composing unique versions of several classic carols by combining them with classical pieces, and also with other Christmas songs. This makes the traditional song we are used to hearing, a beautiful medley of voices, with the weaving in and out of two themes creating an intriguing, yet perfectly woven tapestry. "Joy to the World" blends perfectly with "Canon in D", while "O' Holy Night" flows in and out of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", as if it were meant to be. Several of the songs stand alone, while others paired together nicely in their arrangement, for instance "Away in a Manger" paired with "The First Noel". This CD is filled with traditional Christmas music, but presented with a contemporary classical feel.
