About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

It doesn't get much more traditional than this. Former middle-of-the-road folksinger Dan Fogelberg sang, arranged, and produced First Christmas Morning, a collection of Christmas songs inspired by medieval, Baroque, and Renaissance melodies. He tosses in a handful of traditional songs -- "I Saw Three Ships," "What Child Is This?" -- and accompanies them with strings, harp, and the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, among other period-appropriate sounds. Though it is unlikely that any of Fogelberg's original compositions -- the joyous "At Christmas Time" and the somber "The First Christmas Morning" -- will make it into the popular canon of seasonal choices, his arrangements of the classics "O Tannenbaum" and "We Three Kings," though a little over the top, are quite good.

The more I listen, the more I like it!by RobertF

December 07, 2008: It may take a couple of listens, but once it sinks in you'll love it. It's not what you might expect if you are only acquainted with Dan's hit singles. The use of Baroque and Renaissance instruments give it a very unique quality. I would love to hear a choral group or a college glee club take on "At Christmastime." What a joyful noise!!!

I Also Recommend: Come Darkness, Come Light: Twelve Songs of Christmas.
