The Miró Quartet’s first holiday album is an assemblage of classical music’s top living composers, each of them contributing an original arrangement of a beloved holiday song. Drawing from diverse traditions and memories of holidays past, the recording also brings together new arrangements of “In Dulci Jubilo” by Clarice Assad; “The First Noël” by Kevin Puts, “Jingle Bells” by Michi Wiancko, “Deck the Halls” by Karl Mitze, “Ma’oz Tzur (Rock of Ages)” by Sam Lipman, “In the Bleak Midwinter” by Alex Berko, “Mother’s Lullaby” by Anna Clyne, “Wexford Carol” by Jeff Scott; “halfspent (lo, how a rose…)” by Gabriel Kahane, “O Come, All Ye Faithful” by Michael Begay, “Dejlig er Den Himmel Blå” by Paola Prestini, “We Three” by Derrick Skye, “Silent Night” by Joel Love, and “Songs of Christmas Past” by Hyung-ki Joo. In curating this album, Miró asked each participating composer to select a piece linked to his or her own heritage and personal associations, yielding an eclectic mix of Medieval melodies, merry holiday classics, Texas fiddle music, West African rhythms, and beyond.
