I have always wanted to do a Christmas album, and many of my fans have encouraged me to do so over the years. In researching repertoire, I came across several truly great concert pieces which resonate with Christmas, such as the popular Catalan folk songs El Noi de la Mare/The son of the Virgin and La nit de Nadal/The Night of Christmas.

Bach's famous Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is a piece I have played since I was a boy, and Rick Foster's guitar arrangement is amazingly good - maintaining the entire melodic bass line throughout the entire pieces.

I will include a very special version of the traditional Shaker Hymn, Simple Gifts, transcribed by John and B.J. Sutherland. The last half of this guitar setting modulates down a step to C major. To accommodate this key change, the bass string of the instrument must be tuned down one whole step in performance, producing a sound reminiscent of a country fiddler.

In addition, I have made my own arrangements of well-known Christmas tunes which sit very well on the guitar and are rewarding to play.

Learning this music was a joy and the reward of the work has always been the work itself.

I have burnished my interpretation of the concert pieces into my soul by performing them on my tours, and I have spent countless hours in the practice room with the more traditional Christmas pieces.
