What Child Is This is relaxing Christmas music at it’s best. The album features the beautiful vocals of international recording artist Singh Kaur (also known as Lorellei), whose lovely voice graces five of these seasonal carols: The Little Drummer Boy, What Child is This, Do You Hear What I Hear, Angels We Have Heard on High, and O Come Emmanual. Singh Kaur’s sparkling renditions of these holiday carols are combined with Dean Evenson’s flute and d’Rachael’s harp, along with mandolin and bells.
These new versions of favorite carols are a delightful sequel to Soundings earlier instrumental Christmas recording, Joy to the World, and are certain to bring a sense of peace and joy to all who hear them. The unique style of these arrangements and the quality of the vocals, Christmas flute music and Christmas harp music take traditional Christmas carols to new realms of spiritual depth. Singh Kaur’s haunting vocals sound like the angels themselves singing songs of joy that truly reflect the season.

“I picked up this CD at a craft fair in Killington, VT, a few years ago, and what an incredible find it is! I have never heard Christmas music like this before. The songs are all familiar Christmas carols, but the style and composition are truly unique. Whereas traditional versions of the carols are banged out in 3 minutes or less, these folks take their time — some songs are 8 minutes long (or longer, if I remember right). They take their time, and develop amazingly beautiful works of art. But the real clincher to these songs is Singh Kaur’s hauntingly elegant, powerfully angelic voice — Wow! Simply amazing. I never would have considered “O Come Emanuel” to be a song I’d listen to anywhere outside of church, but their version is so indescribably beautiful that I found myself listening to it over and over again at home. This is the perfect type of elegant, contemplative Christmas music to sit down next to a fire to, turn the Christmas tree lights on, and just relax and let it all go. Much, much more than just a collection of Christmas carols. It’s an absolute work of art….”
