“As a performer, I find the collection difficult to put down.”
“Kathleen Ryan’s collection, The Rebirth of Light, is a delightful addition to your Christmas sheet music collection. These arrangements are distinguished by intriguing harmonies and unexpected rhythmic twists which highlight the melodies Kathleen has chosen. This collection beautifully expresses many of the facets of the Christmas season, including bright and joyful carols such as Come All Ye Shepherds, the contemplative I Wonder as I Wander and Coventry Carol, and the lovely homage of O Holy Night and Silent Night. Usher in the Morning is particularly fascinating, intertwining Good Christian Men Rejoice with I Saw Three Ships; and The Little Drummer Boy is beautifully crafted to portray the awe and excitement of this all-time favorite. Kathleen also includes a couple of original compositions which fit beautifully into this collection.
Kathleen’s unique perspective on this wonderful music is absolutely entrancing. As a performer, I find the collection difficult to put down. Suitable for early advanced students, hobbyists, and professionals, The Rebirth of Light will give both performers and listeners many hours of holiday pleasure.”
