L’Estrange:
Advent ‘O’ Carol
I Will Hold Him
Carol of the Crib
Winter Light
Jesus Christ is Born Today
Love Came Down

ollowing her first album on Signum Classics, Winter Light is an album of works (complete with some world premiere recordings and new arrangements) celebrating the season of Win- ter, as well as Christmas and Advent by composer Joanna Forbes L’Estrange. The common themes linking all 18 tracks are of light triumphing over darkness, good overcoming evil and, ultimately, love conquering all. The first half of the album tells the Christmas story, and the second takes on a different tone; veering towards jazz and folk styles. Jo’s wish is to introduce choirs to some new Winter and Christmas-themed pieces which they might like to add to their own repertoire.
