"I recorded this Christmas album with David Maddux. We loved the experience and what resulted was, for me, possibly my favorite recording. It was released in late November of 1988 and nearly missed the season. The next year it was taken off the market and the season of waiting began for me. Finally, it is available again with The Calla Lily Company and I am so grateful and excited.

Carolsinger is about expectant hope and the realization that there is light after darkness, life after death and amazement and wonder in the Kingdom of God. A baby has been born and he is called Emmanuel - God with us!" Cynthia

Cynthia Clawson has recorded a Christmas project that has, at its core, the joy associated with Christmas and a strong emphasis on the mystery of the birth of Jesus. Her friend, accompanist, and musical arranger, Bruce Greer, presented this music to her last year as a Christmas gift, all neatly bound and ready to record. The project was recorded in Dallas at Verge Music Works Studio with sound engineer Martin Baird. Cynthia and Bruce produce the only sounds heard on the recording. What seems like a choir of solemn, pious monks devoted to worshiping through chant, or later the sound of a choir of sweet nuns singing from pure adoration, is none other than the voices of Cynthia Clawson and Bruce Greer, creating out of sheer delight.

They weave the holiness of Gregorian chant with the tender familiarity of Christmas carols into a warm blanket for the Child about whom they sing. This offering of music and adoration lifts the listener’s spirit and reminds them of winding streets in an ancient town in Palestine, hillsides where flocks of sheep huddled against the cold night wind, and skies shimmering with dazzling colors, angels' songs, joy, and the sweet mystery of the advent of the Messiah!

Marvin Gaspard, an artist who plays a mean piano that is a smooth as an Olympic ice skater gliding in seemingly effortless grace, makes this recording a celebration that moves your feelings from nostalgia to laughter to reverence.

Marvin Gaspard, an artist who plays a mean piano that is a smooth as an Olympic ice skater gliding in seemingly effortless grace, makes this recording a celebration that moves your feelings from nostalgia to laughter to reverence. Somehow, he is able to remind us of the true emotions that accompany us as we once again approach this season of gifts, gratitude and love. No matter where you are when you listen to his music, you feel like you are home...or on your way home.

Arranged and accompanied by Bruce Greer, with everything from the string quartet to the accordion, Cynthia sings for those who hunger for comfort. She says of this album, "There are many ties that bind us together. The greatest of these is God's love, and the second is the commonality of the human experience that includes all frailties ... our brokenness. The miracle of Love can turn those broken places into a heart of compassion for others and forgiveness for ourselves. The wailing of broken hearts is the doorway to God."
