Savae
 "La Noche Suens: Christmas Music of Colonial Latin America"
 
       Savae (the San Antonio Vocal Arts Ensemble) moves beyond the same-old, same-old by venturing back in time a few hundred years, collecting 16 songs that were heard in colonial cathedrals on the Spanish frontier. It's an enchanting mix of melodies and rhythms of Aztecs, Maya and Incas, along with the Spanish Catholic missionaries, and (honestly) who knows what else. We do know this: Outside of church, you won't hear a more stirring program of sacred music this season.
