Imagine a party, a musical party inspired by the holiday season. A party that celebrates the universal hopes, dreams and joy animating seasonal festivals the world over - Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, Kwanzaa, Yule and New Year's Day. That is what brought Yo-Yo Ma together with a remarkable group of friends - some old, some new - to create SONGS OF JOY & PEACE. It is Yo-Yo's hope that everyone who listens to this album will hear a song familiar, comfortable and beloved to them as well as discover and fall in love with music that is brand new.

The music is exceptionally beautiful, with an unexpected selection for the holidays.

For anyone looking for a great holiday CD that you can listen to year round, this is it! YoYo Ma and his friends provide hours of beautiful music that will lift your spirits and make your heart sing. The final variation of Dona Nobis Pacem with Chris Botti is simply magical. A must for any YoYo Ma fan.
