Description
Traditional and New Holiday/Seasonal music offerings on Native American flute, guitar, voice and percussion from award winning, New Mexico, Emo-Southwest musician Randy Granger.
Winter colors is ten fresh, original sounding and tenderly rendered seasonal songs both classic and new. There is an emotional content to this music as well. Starting with Calling Snow, a soft chant-like song on percussion and a delightful duet between flutes. Calling Snow paints an image of the season in a Southwest long ago when Winter's first snowfall signaled a period of reflection. Solo flute versions of Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel and Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring are haunting and respectful. Lullay Lullay, Little Drummer Boy, and Oh Christmas Tree all on light percussion and flute are great mood setting songs and will possible have the listener unconsciously singing along.
What Child is This and Silent Night include Native American Flute, guitar and percussion. Silent Night includes a higher pitched flute on Obligato--or the improvised and harmony melody above the main melody. It is moving and memorable. Snow Geese is a haunting solo that captures Snow Geese in flight. The stirring Appalacian melody of I Wonder as I Wander starts out solo flute then an A Cappella version sandwiched between that is stunning. Granger uses a Native American Drone, or double barrel, flute for an effect that eerily beautiful.
This CD is perfect for creating a seasonal introspective atmosphere. Whether watching the snow falling outside, setting up for a party, looking at lights or driving Winter Colors captures the beauty and starkness of the season in the Southwest. A must add for your holiday collection right next to your George Wintson December discs and Windham Hill and Celtic Winter Collections.
There is an ease to Granger's music. A lightness, yet deep soulfulness permeates his Flute Playing Style and recordings. Granger is of Native American, European and Hispanic heritage. He says all his resilient ancestors meet in his heart and that's where the "Music is Made." He has played at Zion Canyon Flute and Art Festival, earned third place at the Musical Echoes flute competition in Florida, performs at festivals, solo concerts, and benefits. He volunteers his music at Hospice centers and Hospitals, has been the subject of numerous feature articles and has won several awards for his songwriting and production. He also plays and records with the Hang steel hand drum by PANArt. His other CD of Native American flute music, Cloudwalker, is available at CD Baby, Amazon.com and iTunes.
