(CD)—A collection of Christmas music featuring Rebecca Wilt, artist-in-residence at Messiah College
Released in October, Wilt's delightful compilation of Christmas pieces showcases her extraordinary talent in both piano and vocal music. Wilt, who plays on all tracks and sings for three of the selections, says, "I have always loved Christmas music, but wanted to release an album that was 'user friendly' for all listeners, not just classical musicians."
Other College musicians also joined Wilt on 'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime: William Stowman, associate professor of music, played trumpet, and Jill Marchione, adjunct instructor in music, provided oboe accompaniment for the recording.
"The CD is beautiful all around, from the music to the artwork," says Wilt. "I am hopeful that there are moments that will take your breath away." |
