I DON'T LIKE CONTEMPORARY MUSIC, BUT.....
I fell in love with Mark Hayes' arrangements of traditional Christmas songs. They are unlike anything that I have ever done, as I am strictly a Bach/Handel type of singer. His lush harmonies and imaginative arrangements really captured me. I will be performing them this coming week and I look forward to sharing this wonderful holiday music with the audience.

Good classical arrangements
Very nice stuff for the classically trained vocalist. It was especially handy coming with the CD for both practice and performance--no need to dig up an accompanist! Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the actual selection of songs that Hayes includes some that are far from my favorites. Several that I'll certainly use, several that I won't use (not the arrangement's fault, just the song selection), and a couple that might get used. Very nice overall.
