Gaining downtime this holiday (with A Solo Piano Christmas)…

18 December 2012 by 1 Comment

I’m not sure how I managed to negotiate this, but this year, for the first Christmas in ELEVEN YEARS, I will be waking up in my own home on Christmas morning.  I am so relieved not to have to travel this year, to be able to witness my kids experience Christmas in their own home for the first time, and to create new traditions.

But this season is not without family, as we’re hosting a little pre-Christmas gathering in our home this coming weekend.  Family is driving in from out of state, and what looked like a small group is now looking close to 20 people.  Exciting and nerve wracking (I mean, we bought a second fridge last week, people).  But I feel blessed to be able to share our home, and grateful that family is letting us take a year off from traveling.

Ever the planner, I’ve been scouring my iTunes collection for some ambiance during our fete.  Somehow Alvin & The Chipmunks seems too immature, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra too harsh.  I’m looking for something more mature and mellow this holiday season.  Maybe you are, too.

And in that spirit, Keesha at Mom’s New Stage and I have something for you.

Wasn’t that lovely?

 

Chad Lawson’s A Solo Piano Christmas is a perfect Christmas gift, either for yourself, or for a loved one.  It is a beautiful assortment of classic Christmas carols including What Child is This, Joy to the World and The Holly and the Ivy, all rearranged for solo piano. 

The purity and tenderness of the lone piano chords cleanse and soothe the spirit, inviting both escape and reflection.  It is an “end of the night, kids in bed, glass of wine by the fire and breathe” CD.  A Solo Piano Christmas is music for relaxing, for mellowing out and for taking a personal Calgon moment –no bathtub necessary—while rediscovering your favorite Christmas carols.

Chad Lawson was recently featured on Bob Edwards Weekend edition.  His album, The Piano, went to #19 on iTunes Classical.  The Piano as well as his Christmas release are hot sellers on Amazon.  His music has been critically acclaimed as “absolutely stunning for its delicate complexity and emotional depth.”

A Solo Piano Christmas is for you, whether you need to lose yourself, or to find yourself. Gina and I are so happy to be able to be able to give you the gift of music this season.
