The composer Soren Sieg says: 'I have to admit I love Christmas. Although I am an atheist I always felt a deep connection to this feast. The couple looking for a home, the newborn child, the angels soothing words FEAR NOT, the wonderful surrealistic three magi with their presents. In my view this is the celebration of the biggest thing in the world, the birth of a child, a celebration of life itself. The light that shines in the darkness. And then I also love everything surrounding Christmas-the candles, the tree, the marzipan and the recorder! This is the time of year with the most recorder concerts and this piece brings everything together. My love for Christmas, for the recorder and for Africa. I feel this music really transports the overall message of Christmas - Consolation, Hope and Joy'.
