''Winter Magic'' is a Christmas album by Christchurch, New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra. The album was called ''Christmas Magic'' in some territories, and was released in Japan as ''Winter Magic: Fuyu No Kagayaki – Koibito Tachi No Pure Voice''. The album features traditional Christmas songs (like Coventry Carol) and more contemporary Christmas songs (as Joni Mitchell's classic, River).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hayley Westenra album on iTunes )〕 Winter Magic includes "The Little Road to Bethlehem", "Silent Night", "Veni Veni Emmanuel", "The Little Drummer Boy", and "The Coventry Carol", among other seasonal songs. These Christmas tunes combine Westenra's voice with the accompaniment of a choral group. Westenra herself wrote three new songs for the CD: "Peace Shall Come", "All With You", and "Christmas Morning". The variety of melodies, as well as the different genres, of the songs included were designed to showcase the versatility of Hayley's voice to perform classically, as in "Corpus Christi Carol", as well as in a considerably more "pop" style for songs like "Peace Shall Come". Westenra’s ability to achieve such variety in a single album has garnered her critical praise.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hayley Westenra albums review by Matt Rowe )〕 ==Track listing== #Little Road to Bethlehem #Carol of the Bells #Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) #Veni Veni Emmanuel #Silent Night #Christmas Morning #Sleigh Ride #River #Little Drummer Boy #Corpus Christi Carol #All with You #Coventry Carol #Winter's Dream #Peace Shall Come #On the Wings of Time (Japanese Bonus Track) # 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Winter Magic (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
