Advent Music



Page CXVI. Advent to Christmas. Boulder: SoundCloud/Page CXVI, 2013. mp3 audio download. $9.99. http://pagecxvi.com/   https://soundcloud.com/pagecxvi/silent-night  http://youtu.be/D1HyErnS86A  http://pagecxvi.com/preorder  (H)
Advent to Christmas is the first of three projected Church Calendar albums by a group we've reviewed on a couple of occasions, Page CXVI.


This brief album of seven tracks left me wanting more. I pray there will be more in their Church Year series. Tracks include:
  1. Awake My Soul
  2. Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus
  3. Comfort, Comfort, Now My People
  4. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
  5. Angels We Have Heard on High
  6. O Come, All Ye Faithful
  7. Silent Night
Expect new and modified melodies. Expect to be able to sing along to the hymn texts you already have memorized while listening in your car.

This album is more edifying to me than secularized "Siberian Steamroller" mall musak that retailers have already begun playing. Hear comfort in Christ. Hear words supported by freshened music.

Advent to Christmas releases on December 3.
