The Clarion Chamber Ensemble totally contradicts my observation.

To be sure, the Oxford Concise Dictionary defines clarion as a "shrill narrow-tubed trumpet formerly used in war". A second meaning is "rousing sound"; a third, "organ-stop of clarion quality, clear and loud".

To my mind, what best describes the concerts of the Clarion Chamber Ensemble is "rousing sound" – one that engages, absorbs or compels attention.

Hotels, private homes and other venues contribute to the sounds of Christmas music, and if you were to assiduously attend every program and concert, you could be spending Christmas Eve in bed.
