From Sunridge Studios in Salem, Oregon
RoseWynde releases their third CD November 5, 2003
Winter Ayres
Sandy Duffy Norman, flute * Ann Beesley, violin * Kathryn Cater, harp
Featuring Celtic Christmas Tunes, Baroque selections,
and the best music of the Winter Season.
This CD creates a mood for the winter journey. From harvest to the darkening of the days,
Through to the New Year and the return of the light.
Winter Ayres presents the most beautiful music of the Baroque
by Vivaldi, Pergolesi, and Tartini,
the heartfelt Christmas tunes from Ireland, Scotland, and England
like Wexford Carol, Auld Lang Syne, Here We Come A-Wassailing, and Sussex Carol,
including traditional music of the Season with, What Child Is This, Away in the Manger, Jeanette Isabella, and more.
A crystalline breath sharp is drawn,
as you step from hearth and candle,
Outside to the glitter of an icy dawn.
Walk fast in the snow and slow in the frost.
Feel the grass crunch underfoot,
every fence, every tree as white as white can be.
Across the fields snow drops drooping on their stalks,
Holly and mistletoe etched in silver lace.
There in your own backyard
Your heart stands still, eyes grow bright,
Winter Ayres tells its song with silent light.
God send you a happy New Year
