This week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline is a special mix of new works for the holiday season, including three new carols by Reena Esmail titled “A Winter Breviary;” Dai Fujikura’s “Ghost of Christmas,” inspired by his own memories of Christmastime; and new string quartet music by Caroline Shaw, “The Evergreen.”

Then, it’s music inspired by peace, light, and the Advent: we’ll hear A Little Suite for Christmas by George Crumb; Owain Park’s setting of O Magnum Mysterium; and a vocal work by Sungji Hong, “Missa Lumen de Lumine,” or “Light from Light Mass.”

Also featuring music by Rasa Daukus, Melissa Dunphy, Errollyn Wallen, Nils Frahm, and others; and performances by Tess Said So, the Gesauldo Six, Attica Quartet, Gjermund Larsen Trio, Tenebrae, Trio Medieval, and more.
