Rejoice features the shimmering sounds of harp, dulcimer, and flute in a collection of carols, some familiar and some less-known, distinctively arranged by ASCAP award-winning composer Cary Ratcliff. The cello quartet and guitar give depth to the ensemble texture of this digitally recorded album. Rejoice presents Christmas music from the rich traditions of Catalonia, Provence, Russia, Italy, Scotland, Poland, the United States, Germany, and England. A sixteen-page illustrated booklet with tunes, background information, and bibliography is enclosed with each cassette or compact disc. Rejoice combines sophistication of arrangement and virtuosity of performance without losing the simple joy of the Christmas season.

"Rejoice is one of the most enjoyable Christmas recordings I've heard. The sound quality and the musicianship are very fine. I greatly admire the work of Cary Ratcliff; his setting of the Russian carol 'In a Manger Poor' is splendid." ~ Richard Gladwell, host of "With Heart and Voice" nationally syndicated PBS program
