And Heaven and Nature Sing
2008
Tony Alonso’s first Christmas recording has much to offer. The selections
include fresh new arrangements of many Christmas favorites plus original
material by Alonso, John L. Bell, and Liam Lawton.
There is also a real “chestnut”
among the titles, which may have passed you by. “Child of Light,” by Dan Kantor
(composer of GIA’s popular “Night of Silence”), is a delightful quodlibet using the
beloved tune greensleeves and featuring a lush string arrangement. This title was
published in 1990 but has never appeared on a recorded collection.
Other highlights include “From the Cradle to the Cross,” an original carol
by Alonso set in a bluegrass style. This haunting text reminds us of the life that
Jesus led and modeled for us all.
The collection features two songs in Spanish:
one a fresh arrangement of the traditional carol “Alegría” and the other a Latin
arrangement of “Ding Dong Merrily on High.” John Bell’s new text, “We Do
Not Know,” will enlighten your perception of the timeless Christmas story, and
Lawton’s soaring refrain found in “Noel, Noel” will stir your soul.
Alonso, Bell, Kantor, Lawton—old songs, new songs—English and Español.
This is a treasure!
