Mark Schultz - When Love Was Born

사연이 가득한 듯한 목소리에 피아노 연주가 돋보이는 싱어송라이터인 'Silent Night' [WOW Christmas Nichole Nordeman과 듀엣, 2002], 'The First Noel' [WOW Christmas: Green, 2005] , 'When Love Was Born' [single, 2009], 'Different Kind of Christmas [single, 2014] 등 크리스마스 곡들을 발표해 왔는데요, 기존 곡들을 모두 포함한 첫 정규 크리스마스 앨범을 발표했습니다.

싱글로 많은 사랑을 받았던 'When Love Was Born'와 'Different Kind of Christmas'는 창작 곡들로 깊이 있는 발라드로, 'White Christmas', 'It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas', 'The Christmas Song' 처럼 잘 알려진 팝 캐롤들은 라운지에서 들으면 좋은 편한 정겨운 재즈 풍으로 또 'Silent Night', 'The First Noel', 'O Holy Night' 같은 전통적인 크리스마스 곡들은 따라 불러도 좋을 만한 간결한 편곡이 좋고요, 조용한 연주곡 'Snow In Paris'에 이어 "다 와서 크리스마스 기쁜 소식을 들어 보겠니!" 외치는 듯 가스펠 재즈 스타일의 'Little Drummer Boy'로 앨범을 마무리합니다.

Starlight shines, the night is still Shepherds watch from a hill ;I close my eyes, see the night When love was born

Perfect child gently waits A mother bends to kiss God's face ; I close my eyes, see the night When love was born

Angels fill the midnight sky, they sing Hallelujah, He is Christ our King

Emmanuel, Prince of peace Loves come down for you and me ; Heaven's gift, the holy spark To let the way inside our hearts

Bethlehem, through your small door Came the hope we've waited for ; The world was changed forevermore When love was born

I close my eyes, see the night When love was born
