Adrienne Albert adds her charming Upside-Down Wish List, and evocative adaptation of the Cherry Tree Carol.

Traditional carols are beautifully reincarnated; Davidson’s lovely Ave Maria, What Child is This, Silent Night and Away in the Manger, Andrew’s dream-like setting of O Tannenbaum, and Albert’s witty Deck the Halls, Angels We Have Heard on High, Do You Hear What I Hear.
