Toss a few marshmallows in your hot cocoa, and get ready for 15 tracks of mostly serene, gentle melodies including Greensleeves, the Gounod Ave Maria, Coventry Carol, Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming, Largo from Winter and other pieces dating back to the 13th Century. Deuter's uncluttered arrangements employ silver flute, alto flute, recorders, French horn, and enchanting keyboard effects.

Deuter, whose home and studio are hidden deep in the forests of New Mexico, creates his magical sounds using instruments from all over the planet. "One thing that is important for me is that I love dancing on the edge of the unknown--to play around and open doors I haven't walked through before," says Deuter. With this mindset, Deuter has remained at the forefront of musical evolution for over 35 years. His music is the perfect tonic after a day of holiday bustle, but you will want to continue playing this enchanting CD long after the holiday season as ended. 55:47 minutes
