Songs of the Season (An Original Christmas Suite)

Songs of the Season (the suite) started out as an attempt to write a few original Christmas songs that were not as cliched or predictable as some recent Christmas songs that I’ve heard. Over time, this project has evolved into a suite of songs that I’m working to turn into a Christmas musical. The story in the musical centers around two families in a small town trying to create a happy Christmas in spite of storm clouds headed in their direction. It’s divided into three acts: Act One is called The Celebration; Act Two is The Three Great Stories; and Act Three is The Blessings. I finished the final song, When Christmas Spirit Comes to Town, in 2025, but I haven’t finished recording, arranging and producing it. In the meantime, all of these songs can also be heard via your favorite online music sources. (If you’d like to read the lyrics, click on the Lyrics dropdown menu, above.)

PS: IF YOU ONLY HAVE TIME TO LISTEN TO ONE SONG, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO ACT 3 BELOW AND LISTEN TO THE TITLE SONG, SONGS OF THE SEASON!

Act One: The Celebration

Christmas-y celebrates the joy of anticipating the holiday (which is surely one of the best parts of the season!)

A Very Merry Time of the Year celebrates all of the modern traditions Americans associate with the Christmas holiday.

A Christmas to Remember tells three stories of Christmases past, when Christmas managed to be extraordinary despite occuring in less-than-ideal circumstances.

The Heart of Christmas celebrates our ability to make our own holiday wonderful by helping others have a merry holiday.

Act Two: The Three Great Stories

The Dawn of Christmas Day tells the Bethlehem story from a unique perspective… The baby knows what he’ll say when he grows up!

A Song for St. Nicholas tells the story of how the ever-popular Santa Clause legend came into being when a clever writer combined multiple existing Christmas legends.

When Christmas Spirit Comes to Town (not yet released)

Act Three: The Blessings

Songs of the Season (the title song) celebrates the power of the best Christmas music to lift our spirits, bring back treasured memories, and bring us hope. (A music reviewer once called it “Christopher Kent’s holiday masterpiece … perhaps the best holiday standard you’ve never heard.”)

Under a Christmas Moon is about trying to have faith in humanity and the future when the world around us seems dark and the future looks bleak. Somehow, Christmas can still give us hope…
