"Noel" features a variety of colorful elements and sparkling arrangements celebrating the winter holidays. as well as music by Bach,  Brubeck, Tchaikovsky, and Mendelssohn.

cabin, a Native American fireside, even a shipboard flagon of Yuletide mead on a storm-tossed sea far from home. We chose to play a combination of the very familiar and more obscure, sometimes rustic, sometimes polished, but always authentic."
