This first disc from VB8 is a collection of carols and songs for the festive season, all composed within the last thirty-five years, or, in the case of the two traditional French carols, in newlywritten harmonisations. The disc starts and ends with titles by a favorite composer of the group, Arvo Pärt, and includes repertoire from an eclectic mix of living composers. Most notably, the disc includes the first recordings of carols by three Canadian composers; Elizabeth Ekholm, Louis Desjarlais, and Benjamin Sigerson. The stylish and intimate nature of these performances allow the listener to get to know the individual voices of the eight singers as well as enjoying the soundscape of the octet as a whole.
