Winter's Eve

Winter's Eve is the thirteenth studio album and second Christmas-themed album by Nox Arcana. It was released in 2009 on Monolith Graphics. Apart from traditional music for the Christmas season, the theme of this album evokes a medieval or pagan Yuletide celebration typical of the winter solstice. The album tells the story of a white queen of winter who casts a spell of slumber on a forest, and she watches over those who sleep as their dreams form in the snow. With William Piotrowski leaving in 2008 to focus on film scoring, this is the first Nox Arcana album released as a solo project under Joseph Vargo; Piotrowski remains credited as an additional instrumentalist and studio engineer on all of the project's future releases.
