For this recording Organist Matthew Owens presents a diverse recital of some of the greatest Christmas music ever written for the instrument. Traditional tunes, whether Lutheran chorales, plainchant, French noëls, or medieval carols, have provided the inspiration for much Christmas organ music throughout the years, with much of this program made up of pieces based on such tunes, from J.S. Bach's Canonic variations on Vom Himmel hoch to Louis-Claude Daquin's Noël Suisse. This recital also draws on more contemporary sources and presents several world premiere recordings including Howard Skempton's Christmas Bells and Gary Davison's Seven Versets on Divinum Mysterium, both of which were written specially for this recording.
