Bright Day Star: Music for the Yuletide Season. Baltimore Consort. Dorian 90198, $16.

This prolific ensemble produces its typically bright, improvisatory collection of tidbits, nicely juxtaposing traditional folk music with folksy-composed music. The variety of instrumentation is a delight. Much of this music impels the listener to get up and dance. This album has been around for ten years, but it always seems fresh.
