New York City's Sweet Adelines favorite Ramapo Valley Spotlight Chorus, who tell us they're based only 45 minutes from Broadway, bring that Broadway magic and panache to an ambitious, energetic Christmas CD. First we have 'Happy Holidays/Winter Wonderland,' 'Deck the Halls/Hark the Herald Angels Sing,' 'Toyland,' 'God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen,' 'Jingle Bell Rock,' 'I Wonder As I Wander,' 'Angels We Have Heard On High,' 'Christmas Was Meant For Children' and 'Hanukkah.' Then comes 'A Child Is Born' and a dramatic and touching Christmas narrative/medley, narrated by Renee Craig, 'A Gift of Love.' Included are 'Gloria,' 'A Child Is Born in Bethlehem,' 'Rise Up Shepherd and Follow,' 'A Baby In A Cradle' and five others. There is some light flute, guitar and piano accompaniment on some songs. This CD might have been titled 'Christmas on Broadway'Ðwe like the spirit of RVSC, and we enjoyed 'A Gift of Love!'
