Roamin' Holiday
INTRODUCTORY NOTES
This recording features music from the Turtle Creek Chorale's 1993 holiday concert entitled "A Roamin' Holiday". The entire 14th season was one of musical travel. Audience response to the concert propelled the production of a live CD. The various pieces brought together both much-loved familar songs from other countries as well as new pieces in celebration of the holidays. The recording took place in Dallas' Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and features the Herman W. And Amelia H. Lay Family Organ. We hope the variety of music, languages and instrumentation will delight you and bring a festive spirit every time it is played.
