Played this early this morning while watching our first "real" storm of the season dump snow outside. A nice bit of calm before the mania of World Cup games and trying to fit some writing in.

What an awesome carol for the season. Reflective and peaceful at the same time.

This might be my favorite so far. Gave me exactly the type of respite intended. The harmonic language is very sophisticated and effortless at the same time. An excellent end to another productive year of music making.
