Pro Reviews: First Christmas Morning
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews It doesn't get much more traditional than this. Former middle-of-the-road folksinger Fogelberg sang, arranged, and produced this collection of Christmas songs inspired by medieval, baroque, and Renaissance melodies. He tosses in a handful of traditional songs -- "I Saw Three Ships," What Child Is This?" -- and accompanies them with strings, harp, and the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, among other period-appropriate sounds. Though it is unlikely that any of Fogelberg's original compositions -- the joyous "At Christmas Time" and the somber "The First Christmas Morning" -- will make it into the popular canon of seasonal choices, his arrangements of the classics "O Tannenbaum" and "We Three Kings," though a little over the top, are quite good. - Denise Sullivan, All Music Guide |

This is not your run-of-the-mill Christmas album. The original songs that Fogelberg wrote are wonderful and, if more people are exposed to them, could become christmas classics in their own right. The arrangements of the traditional songs are exceptionally well done, and the mix of tempos and moods is perfect.
