HOS #996 Illumination (11-30-2012)

After the Thanksgiving holiday, the chilled months of the winter season begin in earnest, and

with them the celebration of light itself, conjoined with the year-end religious celebrations. From the pre

-Christian and Pagan festivals of the sun, to Christian, Jewish and Hindu celebrations of light, we chase

away the gloom of the season with a special radiance.

The music of midwinter embodies this transition from the dark harmonies of late autumn to the festive

atmosphere of the year-end solstice and religious celebrations: lyrical, optimistic, and heartwarming.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, ambient chamber music for the transition to the season of light,

on a program called ILLUMINATION.
