Bio / Background
The Moon of Wintertime by Lydia McCauley is a beautifully produced and presented CD. The cover art and text portray its spiritual and traditional origins and in many ways add to the overall experience. The tunes and songs here are derived from many sources and times and yet they combine old and new compositions. The title track has music from France, lyrics dating from around 1643 with an English translation in 1926 and an adaptation in 2002 by McCauley. From this mixture she has produced lyrical magic that will uplift the spirits. On "Gifts of the Magi," she takes full control, writing and arranging. The result is a 21st century song that would not have raised eyebrows in medieval courts. "Good King Wenceslas" and the former track make this an ideal Christmas CD if one is looking for traditional with a twist, but this is an all-year-round CD so don't restrict your enjoyment to two weeks a year. You are a connoisseur of good music so be free.
