From NPR:

Internet Composing

All Things Considered, December 24, 2008 - Cellist Yo-Yo Ma has a challenge for you, his fans and fellow musicians. It springs from his most recent release, Songs of Joy and Peace, a series of collaborations with such well-known musicians as pianist Dave Brubeck, soprano Renee Fleming, bassist Edgar Meyer and mandolinist Chris Thile.

Now, you can join Yo-Yo Ma online and produce your virtual collaboration with him. Download Ma playing "Dona Nobis Pacem" from www.indabamusic.com , add your music and mix. Then upload it back to the site, where you can hear all of the submissions. After the contest deadline - New Year's Eve - Ma will pick a winner. He says he's trying to use the Internet to turn a CD into an interactive experience.

I got this CD off iTunes this week and as far as I am concerned it is an instant holiday classic. It is not overly heavy on the Christian side and the music is wonderful - definitely something to put on and snuggle up to a honey with on a cool night with some nog and a fireplace to stare into.
