Ken Elkinson’s First Holiday Album – “Generations Of Yuletide”
When I received my first “guestbook” message from Ken Elkinson earlier this year announcing his first-ever holiday album, I was quite excited! One of my goals in running New Age Christmas Radio is to discover newly created and recorded holiday music. It was with much anticipation, then, that I awaited the arrival of Generations in the mailbox.
The music that I have enjoyed, and am subsequently sharing with you this season, was well worth the wait! Simply put, Generationsis one of those albums that must be experienced in its entirety in order to be fully appreciated. As the title implies, Generationsis like a journey through time, with each selection presented in the order in which it was written, beginning with early 13th century “The Star Of Christmas Morning,” and ending with the song made famous by Charles Schultz’s animated holiday creations, “Christmas Time Is Here.”
In between is a collection of holiday classics ranging from the familiar “Silent Night,” to the more obscure “Prepare The Way, O Zion,” including Ken’s own signature improvisation on these fine tunes. Listening to this album has definitely encouraged me to discover other music recorded by this talented musician.
“Generations Of Yuletide” is one of those holiday albums you can put on while entertaining, then relax to after everyone has gone home for the evening, and realize a unique experience in each setting. It is a perfect addition to New Age Christmas Radio this season, and a welcome addition to your own music collection. Listen to samples from “Generations Of Yuletide” here.
