Description

The Winter Solstice has been celebrated in cultures all over the world for thousands of years. It is an observance of the start of the solar year – the rebirth of the sun. Today, many of us in western cultures equate this holiday with Christmas. Though the exact date of Jesus's birth is unknown, we do know that it was not until the year 273 that the Christian church selected December 25 to represent his birth. It appears that as the Winter Solstice was already a day of celebration, it might as well be Christmas.

And so, when Windham Hill decided back in 1985 to release a "Christmas" album, the goal was to create a very listenable instrumental album which was really more evocative of the season and the Solstice than of Christmas. A Winter's Solstice was offered as a musical alternative to the commercialism of Christmas. The repertoire includes mainly original compositions, with the addition of some early hymns, and some baroque and classical repertoire arranged by the artists themselves.
