Christmas Joy in Latvia
New York Latvian Concert Choir
The joy we feel in anticipating the sun's return after the winter solstice is greatly magnified by the spiritual light that comes with Christmas. This recording, Christmas Joy in Latvia, is a collection of new musical works to enrich the season's array of colors. The essence of the CD is expressed by its title: it highlights age-old values in a contemporary fashion. The old world and its traditions change with each new year.

"The cantatas are lovingly performed by the New York Latvian Choir...The result is a delightful fresh addition to Christmas choral literature."
