The Canadian Tenors, a forthcoming group of four talented singers, present to audiences a pleasing mix of classical elegance and contemporary sounds. The Canadian Tenors’ Christmas album includes several well-loved classic Christmas carols presented in a fresh way with stunning arrangements. The Perfect Gift makes a worthy addition to any Christmas music collection.
The Perfect Gift Christmas Music
The Canadian Tenors’ Christmas album, entitled The Perfect Gift, blends together timeless Christmas carols with contemporary Christmas songs, just as it blends together each voice in the Tenors’ group. From the joyful drama of “O Holy Night,” to the soft peacefulness of “Silent Night,” to the eerie sounds of the “Huron Carol,” each carol is arranged in a harmonious blend of voices, accompanied by full orchestral sound.
The carols featured in The Perfect Gift have indeed been recorded and performed by many great singers. The Canadian Tenors, however, thrill the listening ear by maintaining the purity of each carol’s composition and old world charm.
The contemporary Christmas songs include the album’s namesake “The Perfect Gift.” With the soft and soulful melody of a simple love song, “The Perfect Gift” embraces the romantic side of Christmas and the Tenors themselves, and lends itself well to the tenor voice.
The Canadian Tenors’ Musical Blends
Not only does The Perfect Gift blend the classic and contemporary, the old and the new, in a beautiful way, but it includes lyrics in English, French and Italian. The mix of these languages embraces a multicultural heritage as well as adds to the elegance of the Tenors’ music, an elegance that translates well onto the live stage. Listeners can enjoy, for example, “O Come Emmanuel” in French (“O Viens Emmanuel”), a language that lends a fine quality to a song with such a haunting, yet pleasing melody and powerful Christmas message.
The blend of voices that makes up The Canadian Tenors plays a large part in what makes The Perfect Gift an excellent Christmas album. With four singers – Victor Micallef, Clifton Murray, Remigio Pereira, and Fraser Walters – with four distinct, polished voices and excellent tonal range, the mix comes together into music that can only be described as beautiful.
Moreover, embracing the spirit of Christmas, The Canadian Tenors are not simply excellent musicians, but also dedicate themselves to charities helping children around the world.
With a purity of sounds, the beauty of timeless, well-loved Christmas carols, and the novelty of newly arranged, contemporary Christmas songs, The Perfect Gift makes a great addition to any Christmas music collection.
