Customer Reviews Beautiful music to set a festive and restful mood I'll definitely be listening to it throughout the year. We played this several times this year on Christmas morning (also the Christmas Revels album of Medieval songs) and it was so pretty and sweet. buy this one first yYs, they lead off with "The Holly and the Ivy" (and do it beautifully) but do not buy this as a "holiday music album". This is not really a Christmas, or even a seasonal, album, more of a best of the Babes. . . or do. . . you won't regret buying it whatever your reasons! This was my introduction to this band and I was absolutely floored. It lived in my car CD player for 2 months straight, and still is in the first section of my CD storage unit. . . . a rare honor for *any* Cd. It is also responsible for causing me to go out and try to buy every other CD the band has out, and I have not been disapointed in any of the ones I have gotten so far. Speaking as a former music major, religious student, and medieval re-creationist, I know I can be pretty nit picky when it comes to "medieval" music; all too often it is neither medieval, nor (in my opinion) music! This is one of those rare exceptions that can manage to get you out of a chair to dance, while singing at the top of your lungs in Olde Englishe, Latin, or whatever. There isnt a bad voice in the lot (although some of the harmonies can be a bit odd if you arent used to medieval music) and the instrumental backings are pure gold. Great introduction to Mediaeval Baebes It is a great introduction to Mediaeval Baebes music and serves as "best of" type of collection. This CD has many songs from previous albums and a few new songs. It is billed as a "holiday" collection but I listen to it year round and quite often. The Mediaeval Baebes have a very unique and wonderful sound. .
