Dan Fogelberg - Yule Dance - Feast Of Fools - Snowfall

Happy Holidays to all the Dan Fans - chuckd5usa you were reading my mind :)

I was inspired by Languagedancer and Michael Colone to create this although it's been on my mind for a long while. If you haven't visited their http://www.youtube.com/EnchantingHoliday channel, sleigh on by and experience some holiday magic.

Dan wrote these 3 wonderful instrumentals which appeared on The First Christmas Morning Recorded March 1998 to April 1999 at Mountain Bird Studios Colorado.

Dan plays the guitars, mandolin, piano, keyboards, autoharp, and percussion and created all the orchestral arrangements performed by others.

The liner notes included special thanks to mom for the ginger snaps and a very special thanks (and love) to Jeannie.

"Yule Dance"

"Another of my 'Medieval' guitar compositions. I see lords and ladies in their festive Renaissance finery, dancing in the brightly candle-lit great hall of some Florentine villa while the wine and laughter flows freely."


"Feast Of Fools"

"This is one of several guitar pieces I wrote in the Renaissance style."


"Snowfall"

"This piece was inspired by all the wonderful nights I've spent by the fire watching the snow pile up, drifting so beautifully outside the windows and turning the mountains into a fairyland while the music of Greig, Tchaikovsky and Mozart casts it's magnificent spell over me."

Thank you for the love shown through these pictures mated together so beautifully with Dan's timeless Christmas music. A fitting tribute to a classic man for all seasons! He is surely being well taken care of as we speak, but God Bless Dan's family this holiday season and you as well for your generous and artistic gift to us.

It's almost 4 years since Dan left us...and it still doesn't seem real at times...he is so much a part of life...

We miss you always, Dan...

Thank you so much for this. A lovely video, made perfect by your choice of Dan's music. As he so often spoke of his feelings to us through his music, obviously Christmas was a very special, very meaningful time for Dan. I'm sure he's smiling upon us all from Heaven. Peace is now with you, Dan. Peace to all, not only at this time of the year, but all year through.....

Absolutely Perfect.....

This video and all of Dan's music, helps keep him "alive" in a sense for all of us as we approach the second Anniv. of his going home to the Lord and to be with his Dad. I play this CD all the time at Christmas- it is great.
