“The Festival of Light originates with the winter solstice. Ages ago people recognized that the days were getting longer and that the life-giving sleight was once again returning to their lives, they celebrated this cyclic progression of the seasons. Ultimately, this is a celebration of change.

“During my childhood in Europe, some of my most vivid memories of the holiday season were that we used candles instead of electric lights, the smell of the Christmas tree, the scent of baking, and burning sparklers. Yet, my strongest association to the holidays will always be the music. I loved the church choirs, the Christmas concerts and the memories they continue to evoke; they deeply give a wonderful feeling for this time of year.

“I’ve also attempted to express feelings of winter; the silence that comes with deep snowfalls and wide countryside, whiteouts in the distance and the sun shining through the woods. All of these elements inspired and guided the creation of this, my first Christmas album.”

– C.G. Deuter

Celebration of Light is the perfect album to play all holiday season and even beyond through winter’s end and the first signs of spring. It’s perfect late-night listening when you’re stressed out from all the holiday hustle and bustle!
