About

A COLLECTION OF TRADITIONAL CAROLS
by Rik Emmett and Sam Reid

These recordings capture the spirit of the Christmas season: the reverence of peace on earth, and the comforting grace of faith, hope and love. Creatively arranged by internationally-renowned keyboardist Sam Reid and guitarist/vocalist Rik Emmett, these interpretations are a delightful and engaging blend of Old World traditions with an imaginative New Age spirit. From Celtic stylings to Eastern modes and African rhythms: from reels of joyful celebration to pastoral aural landscapes of starlit winter nights: this music offers the full emotional range of the spirit of Christmas.
