Somewhere on a 5-CD album from the Capriccio company, called
Christmas Meditation, there is a piece, called
Traditional [referring to the lyricists, G] - Maria durch ein Dornwald ging, that is
free for us today from YourClassical.
Dresden Kreuzcher performs it; Martin Flamig is the conductor.
There is a Naxos webpage dedicated to the album from which this piece is taken. You can find the webpage
here. As I've mentioned before, I haven't been able to determine if, in situations like this, Naxos is the parent company of the publishing company, or just owns and maintains an album database that another company uses. I've listened to enough classical music in the last nine months or so that I believe Naxos to be one of the "tops" in their industry, and knowing that they published this album would only bolster my estimation of this album. Maybe I will run across some information along those lines, before the day's promotion is over, and share those with you.
As always, in my vetting process of the freebies from all of the classical music companies, I have downloaded, opened, and currently am listening to this entire 3 minute, 24 second MP3
free piece (It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.
). This piece is choral and, at the same time, has a folksong-type of "feel" to it. That's about the limit of my helpfulness giving you information about that.
You can download it for yourself, again it's
free (and without any account being required! Woo hoo!), and listen to it for yourself. Just click on the "Direct MP3 download link" on
this webpage, and the download will being immediately. Additionally/alternatively, you may listen to the piece without downloading it, by streaming the piece. You can do that from
the same webpage.
Good night, or whatever it is where you are now.
