Talj, Talj

This breathtaking Lebanese carol brings a unique global perspective to winter concerts. Andy’s delicate piano part evokes shimmering snowflakes and provides the backdrop for an elegant melody that radiates with warmth and wonder. The Arabic lyrics are easily learned with an included pronunciation guide and free native-speaker video, or by listening to the legendary Lebanese singer Fairuz. After a dramatic English-language bridge, the gentle theme returns and softens to a serene conclusion, which translates as “goodness and love are falling like the snow.”
