Think this Christmas CD is just renditions of the old chestnuts? Think again! It's amazing what this ensemble of eight - four pairs of sopranos, tenors, baritones and basses, and their highly imaginative arranger and artistic director, Charles Mead - can do to transform our old holiday standards into fresh, captivating and thrilling pieces, without losing any of the songs' qualities that made them dear to us.

Mixing "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" with "My Favorite Things," cleverly condensing and enlivening "Twelve Days of Christmas," nesting a wonderful surprise in "O Tannenbaum," and cramming every Santa Claus song into one merry piece (cleveryly entitled "Santa Claus"), are just a few examples of the wonderful magic this "Gift" will bring you! And speaking of gifts, give this CD to all your music loving friends, "acappellans" or not! (44:24 2005)
