David Coffin, an extraordinary singer and musician, has been the face of Revels- and The Christmas Revels- for nearly four decades. This new 2-album set contains 36 of Davids handpicked, favorite live performances from his 40 years on the Revels stage. Davids virtuosic musical ability is on full display in this retrospective collection as he literally takes the stage with Revels choruses, audiences, and tradition bearers in Harvards famed Sanders Theater and beyond! David Coffin, veteran master of ceremonies, singer and recorder player in The Christmas Revels, led the audience in singing Lord of the Dance, then danced out into the lobby of Sanders Theater, joining the Morris dancers to execute a high-jumping caper! (Gatehouse Media) When Coffin sings a sea chantey you can almost smell the salt air and hear the wind in the rigging.

Grammy-nominated composer David Arkenstone blends global, cinematic, and rock elements into his version of new age music, which has appeared in film, television, and video game scores as well as dozens of his own albums. A music lover since age ten, when he moved to California from Chicago, Arkenstone immersed himself in all kinds of music and played keyboards and guitar in numerous bands as a youth. It was when he discovered the lush arrangements and exotic approach of Kitaro that Arkenstone ventured into new age music. The increasing synergy between computer technology and musical instruments also inspired him; most of his works were created partly or entirely on his Macintosh along with synthesizers and guitars.

Scoring Serenity was David Newman, whose vast and diverse filmography lent him well-prepared for anything the film might throw at him. From worldbuilding to character comedy to harrowing action, the score runs the gamut—but always hews to a sense of family and “home” for the Serenity and her offbeat crew. Solo cello and folksy percussion are found alongside eerie “ethnic” approaches, which turn dark and brutal for the barbaric villains, the Reavers, as the film explores their secret origin. But Newman balances the weirdness with familiar, dramatic orchestral scoring, ultimately creating an eclectic tapestry for Whedon’s unique vision.
