Winter Mix, as with all of my music, is a bit hard to pin down in terms of style. If you went to a music store looking for hammer dulcimer music with a distinctive percussive flair where would you begin? Someone commented that the CD has a definite Old World Christmas feel. I like that description and think it is the multiple layers of hand percussion and acoustic instruments that give that impression. Someone else said it reminds them of the group Manheim Steamroller except with real instruments rather than synthesizers. Among the 16 tracks and over 50 minutes of music are familiar Christmas tunes like" Drummer Boy", "Silent Night", "Carol of the Bells", "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Sleigh Ride". Winter Mix also has a few not so well known titles such as the Celtic tune "Christmas Eve Reel" and the Huron Indian Carol "Twas in the Moon of Winter Time." Instrumentation includes hammer dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, guitar, bouzouki, bass guitar, oboe, recorder and a host of hand percussion instruments including multiple djembes, bongos, congas, pandeiro, tamborine, finger cymbals, sambago bells, sleigh bells, agago, wood block, kpalogo drums, guiro, shakers, bohdran and snare drum. I know I've left something out. If it is a percussion instrument and you play it with your hand rather than a stick, it is probably on here.
