December Journey "December Journey", from Celtic group Norland Wind, takes a unique approach to music of the holiday season. The music is a blend of wintry themed pieces and Christmas music from various British and Scandinavian traditions. Some familiar themes come into play, like "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "The First Noel," but most of the selections are less mainstream pieces, like the Swedish carol "Shining Christmas" or the Manx carol "Stephen's Day Session." The instrumentation is very subtle, focusing on harp, guitar and mandolin, with some light whistle, synthesizers to provide a smooth touch and rhythmic elements. It's a very acoustic album with a low-key feel that's perfect for people burnt out on traditional radio-style holiday music.
