Piano embellishments are risky in new age arrangements. Sometimes, the artist's liberties obscure a familiar melody excessively. Other times, they show a refreshing vision an artist brings to a tune. Fortunately, Jennifer Haines is in the latter camp on her version of "Un Flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle (Bring A Torch, Jeannette, Isabella.)"
I could imagine Haines's instrumental being used in at least two different types of drama or soap opera scenes. It's easy for me to picture someone stopping at a church to collect his or her thoughts and ask for guidance during a difficult time or a mother staring out of the window, hoping her daughter will make it home safely after driving in treacherous weather.
You won't hear the carol's familiar melody immediately when starting at the beginning, but be patient. It starts 32 seconds into the track.
