Music for Winter Solstice

Winter celebrations are common to many cultures, and music is essential to celebration!   Some researchers believe the solstices have been the inspiration for rituals and believes associated with those times of the year.  The winter solstice coincides with holidays that use light in ceremonies and celebrations.
