“christmas dream” by Christina perri is a recipe for gluttony, sloth, and love. Treacly pop. But you know you want it.
“The Christmas Dream” is James Chapeskie (with Nicole Beer, Maryna Kluban, and Carolina Engering)’s escape valve against the cruel world. Notes of prog rock and Celtic, but this is New Age aspiration.
A dramatic re-singing of Quirnius’s prophecy of the birth of the Savior is handled deftly by the talented Roger Whittaker in “The Governor’s Dream.” Hymnistic showtune of swelling altitudes.
CG5’s “Christmas Dreams” are a bigger ticket, at least a big band bash of a number. It’s still love.
