Loreena McKennitt -- To drive the cold winter away

Much to my regret the profider that hosted my webpages
for more than 25 years has announced that after 1 July
2026 they end the hosting service.
Therefore all my web pages have been moved to another
provider, which means the base URL changes from
https://josvg.home.xs4all.nl/ to http://www.josvg.dds.nl/.
The current page can now be found here.

Loreena McKennitt - To drive the cold winter away

This is a collection of "[s]easonal music with a fresh and serendipitous approach ... of traditional and lesser-known winter and Chirstmas carols"; it can, however, be played throughout the year. The album "was recorded on location at an artists' retreat and a monastery in Ireland, and a Canadian church."
