Description

For many, the Advent and Christmas season is a time of light, hope, and warmth. Yet the world around us is marked by coldness and unrest. Wars are being fought. People are fleeing their homelands. Children are dying. Thousands of people are suffering from food and medicine shortages. We pray for peace. We sing "Beautiful is our earth! Glorious is God's heaven!" as a protest song for peace and justice, because the world is unjust. With his arrangements, Kjetil Bjerkestrand captures this element of ambiguity and irony. Many of us love familiar Christmas carols in the way we know them from our childhood. This album offers a mix of traditional arrangements and new pieces written specifically for this album.
