15 MP3 Songs
NEW AGE: New Age, CLASSICAL: Contemporary
Details:
Christmas to me is more than just a day. It is a collection of lovely feelings and memories that multiplies each passing year. One of my favorite Christmas memories happened one night when I was a child. My dad, sister and I were lying on the living room floor with nothing but the Christmas tree lights for illumination. Those lights shone like stars on the ceiling, and in the background, ever so softly, the Christmas music played. The combination of soft lights and beautiful music was magical. That night was one of the most peaceful nights of my life. I hope that this album will not only remind you of such Christmases gone by, but also that
it would be a part of new memories yet to come.

Reviews:
Like electricity moving through a bare wire, Christmas Magic, Jennifer Haines new CD of solo piano arrangments of traditional carols, is full of channeled energy. The emotional tension is controlled and directed, but audible in every note she plays. At the same time, there is a soothing quality to her play, because the tension is constant, the volume modulated, the force contained.
The choice of songs is apropos to her treatments, consisting entirely of "serious" Christmas carols, with Good King Wenceslas the most lighthearted of her selections. She chooses to open with a meandering arrangement combining Noël Nouvelet with Veni, Veni, Emanuel. Meandering as a river, contemplative, and deep with power and meaning.
Christmas Magic is notable in its ability to maintain its intensity through fifteen songs and fifty minutes. Though not lighthearted, neither is there any hint of darkness. Pensive, but positive, Jennifer Haines guides the listener down a powerful but slow-moving river of traditional refrains, offering both comfort and contemplation in full measure.
