Here are 25 pieces to carry us through the days around Christmas. I’ve programmed many of the familiar carols, though sometimes in unusual arrangements—for example, Dave Brubeck’s solo piano version of “Greensleeves” and Roland Kirk’s “We Free Kings.” I’ve also included a handful of pieces that may be less familiar to some of us, but that I hope will brighten our Christmas in isolation—for instance, the rollicking “Riu Riu Chiu,” and one of my absolute favorites, “Jesus Christ the Apple Tree.” As we come to Christmas at the end of such a difficult year, that piece includes a verse worth remembering: 

I'm weary with my former toil - 
Here I will sit and rest awhile,

I'm weary with my former toil - 
Here I will sit and rest awhile,
Under the shadow I will be,
Of Jesus Christ the apple tree.
