  1. This is just a waste of Christmas music. Nowhere near the creativity of Mannheim Steamroller’s variations and the Arabic intro is disturbingly inappropriate.

  2. This recording is so wonderfully atmospheric. The frame of the piece draws the listener into the conflation of the simultaneous moments of both the existential and metaphysical contexts, as well as the then and now, of the beloved Bethlehem event. A western carol wrapped in an Eastern Garb. What a charming gift from Amazon and the song’s artists and producers. My gratitude.

  3. If you’re a fan of traditional old-school Christmas music, this is not for you. It’s a classic song, but a modern interpretation that will turn off some people. Including me.

  4. What kind of music is this? This song is intriguing during its Middle Eastern inspired sections, but not so much during the rest. If you listen to the whole CD you will find a varied mix of sound types and genres and this song is a great example of how this artist seems to be confused about who she wants to be.

    Like many of the other reviewers, I would have enjoyed this more if she had gone with the Middle Eastern sound throughout. As it is, it’s just OK.

  5. I enjoy this song, but agree with other reviewers in some areas where the song falls short of greatness. I would have preferred the middle-eastern feel to have more heavily influenced the main interpretation of the song, rather than just been scattered throughout and underlying the traditional rendition of this (nonetheless beautiful) carol.

    One other point that I can’t seem to get away from when listening to this song – What is up with her pronunciation of the phrase “incarnate diety”?! It’s SO distracting to me. Am I the only one who hears that as a gross mispronunciation?
