The Feast of Seasons

Complete title: The Feast of Seasons (Songs for Advent, Nativity, Epihpany)

“This recording represents one artist’s attempt to participate in the faithful protest of reclaiming the seasons.

The songs divide more or less evenly along Advent and Nativity themes, closing with one Epiphany song, the possible musings of an old sage.

Because the focus is thematic the selection may surprise some listeners. It is not a “carol” album, but rather a musical reflection on the richness and depth of the seasons. …

May it be for you a savory taste, which both pleases the palate and leaves you hungering for a deeper encounter with the One whose revelation is proclaimed and celebrated in the feast of seasons.” –- Jamie Howison

Carolyn Notes

ArendsRedWallTrust Steve to give us a great eggnog and fireplace album that also restores our Christmas to its theological sanity.

From its open strains (ready my heart for the birth of Immanuel/ready my soul for the prince of peace/heap the straw of my life for his body to lie on/light the candle of hope let the child come in) this is an extraordinary collection of music that invites us to truly enter into advent.
