Another list of posts from a previous Advent Calendar (2007). It was the year that one of my ballet class CDs – Studio Series 4 – came out, so in this calendar, I wrote a little bit about some of the music I’d chosen for that album, and why. Annoyingly (for you, if you’ve got the album) I didn’t give the track number for each piece. I’d love to procrastinate from what I’m supposed to be doing now and put them all in, but that’ll have to be another day. If you want to preview the tracks, you can do so at CDBaby (direct link to the tracks) or you can buy the album from RAD Enterprises. Not completely shameless self-promotion, as I don’t actually benefit personally from sales of these CDs 😉
