In this concert, Timothy Seaman celebrates the wonder of the holiday season with early American and worldwide melodies and new compositions from his recordings: Profound Joy, Hope from on High, and Incarnation. Winter, Christmas, and Hanukkah themes are heard in the glowing drama of the extended-range hammered dulcimer during this eminently special hour. Reflect on the meaning of the season, rekindling memories of holidays past and continuing long-standing traditions into the future. This popular yearly Christmas Eve concert, always freshly arranged and full of joy, deeply meaningful peace, and surprises, has become a much-anticipated event in the Christmas experience of many faithful attendees of the past 16 years.
