Podcast episode #59 posted

Part two of our holiday music special is now available. As always, I had a lot of fun putting these December shows together, and I hope they bring you some enjoyment.

We feature selections from two recordings. "A Longwood Gardens Christmas" starts off episode #59 of the "DCD Classical 'Cast." Organist Michael Stairs performs two familiar selections, "O Christmas Tree," and an arrangement of "In dulci jubilo."

Janis Lusens' "Child of the Stars" is a choral cantata that borrows heavily from Lusens' Latvian musical heritage, as well as some traditional holiday melodies.

And remember -- you don't need an iPod to enjoy a podcast! You can play the show through your computer, or transfer the MP3 file to any MP3 player or smart phone.

From the entire staff at DCD Records, we'd like to wish you a wonderful holiday season, and a safe and prosperous New Year.

The big job today is gathering material for the next DCD Classical 'Cast -- the podcast that I write and produce for our merry band of labels. The next two programs will focus on the Christmas music we have available (no, that's not me on the left scoping out holiday music).

If you haven't subscribed to our free podcast, you can do so through iTunes or by clicking here. I'm looking to have it posted by mid-week.
