Synopsis

Product Description
A New England Christmas is an incredibly beautiful album of traditional Christmas carols filled with heavenly layered vocals and performances by some of New England's best classical and folk musicians along with a 50 voice choir.
Noel starts the CD with an original song Wish You Were Here that she wrote for anyone who can't make it home for the holidays, especailly thinking of our troops serving overseas.
Noel is a singer-songwriter who combines angelic soprano vocals with a unique fusion of piano based ethereal pop and classical orchestration. She has been compared to artists such as Enya, Sarah McLachlan, Emmy Rossum, and Sarah Brightman. Noel grew up by the sea in s small Rhode Island fishing village, studied classical voice and piano, and graduated summa cum laude from the Boston Conservatory. She has sung with the Boston Pops, Tanglewood Festival Chorus, and John Oliver Chorale - including concerts in front of capacity crowds at Boston's Symphony Hall.
For her new release A New England Christmas Noel worked with Grammy-nominated producer/engineer John Weston of Futura Productions (Beyonce,Shakira, Yo-Yo Ma) and composer/arranger David Grimes to create a fresh sound on Christmas carols.
Noel's debut release Defenseless charted at #48 on the New Age charts, received tremendous airplay on AM/FM, satellite (XM), and internet radio stations, and featured a song Evergreenused in the video gameObscure: The Aftermath
Noel has also collaborated with LA-based producers Christian B. and Marc Dold of SAF Music, who have produced radio hits and remixes for many chart-topping artists such as Enya, Celine Dion, Norah Jones, and Sarah Brightman. Film compser Brian Tyler has featured Noel's vocals in many films including The Fourth Floor (William Hurt), Jane Doe (Teri Hatcher), The Big Empty (Kelsey Grammer) and the Children of Dune mini-series.
 

CD Reviews

Purest vocal sounds
R. Belanger | 11/19/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD has the purest vocal sounds and the freshest arrangements of all the Christmas Carols I've known. It's an absolute find for the season!"
Not worth the money

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This cd is not worth the money. Just too much of the same style of music and I'm not that enamored with her voice. Sorry, but not my cup of tea."
Enchanting vocals gently guide you back to Christmas
KIT | Johns Creek, GA | 12/04/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The enchanting, lovely soprano vocals and arrangements gently guide you away from the hectic, hum-drum world on a journey to where the spirit of Christmas's reigns. Just as it is impossible to look away from the beauty of the winter's first snowfall, it is impossible to not listen in awe to the purity of each melody of Noel's "A New England Christmas.""
