KD Godba Cerknica s svojim delovanjem vseskozi dokazuje, da se zaveda globalizacije in hkrati slovenske tradicije ter njenega pomena za godbeništvo. Bogata dediščina slovenske tradicije ima svoje posebnosti in le s pretanjenimi skladateljskimi ter izvedbenimi pristopi jo bomo ohranili za prihodnost.
Nova zgoščenka Godbe Cerknica obeležuje božični čas. Avtorske skladbe in priredbe za godbe je na sebi lasten način pripravil skladatelj Tomaž Habe. Vsem dobro znani božični napevi so avtorsko popolnoma preurejeni in primerni tako za razvoj slovenskega kot svetovnega godbeništva. S celovito zasnovanim albumom prizadevni glasbeniki poslušalcem predstavijo zvestobo slovenskemu okolju in kulturi, a jo hkrati navežejo na svetovni prostor. Glasba na zgoščenki nas z odlično izvedbo nastopajočih nagovarja še drugače, v interpretaciji resnično lahko občutimo spoštljiv odnos in zavezanost tradiciji. Godba Cerknica z novim albumom dokazuje, da sodobnost ni tako nova in tradicija ne tako drugačna, kot si predstavljamo. Skupaj namreč tvorita celovitost slovenskega godbeništva, ki po kvaliteti sodi v sam svetovni vrh.
Album je darilo vsem ljubiteljem godbeništva in božičnega vzdušja. Verjamem, da bodo poslušalci začutili slovensko godbeništvo kot živ organizem in ne le kot nek pojem iz preteklosti.
Zgoščenko ocenjujem kot pomembno izdajo, saj v celoti predstavlja delovanje KD Godbe Cerknica in pomeni skupaj z ostalimi že izdanimi zgoščenkami novo pot pri delovanju društva, ki je z leti postalo pomemben del kulture na Notranjskem, v Sloveniji in svetu. Hkrati utira pot slovenski glasbeni zakladnici in skladateljskem opusu Tomaža Habeta.

Godba Cerknica Wind Orchestra Cultural Society (KD Godba Cerknica) proves time and again with its work that it is aware of globalisation and at the same time of the Slovenian tradition and its importance for wind orchestra music-making. The rich heritage of the Slovenian tradition has its particularities and only with sophisticated approaches to composition and performance will we preserve it for the future.
The new CD of the Godba Cerknica Wind Orchestra celebrates the Christmas season. Composer Tomaž Habe has prepared his own compositions and arrangements for wind orchestra in his very unique way. The well-known Christmas songs have been completely rearranged and can be suitably developed in both Slovenian and world wind orchestra music-making. With a comprehensively conceived album, the hard-working musicians show their attachment to the Slovenian milieu and culture, but at the same time connect it with the world. The music on the CD also speaks to us in a different way through the excellent performance of the musicians, so that we can literally feel the respectful attitude and commitment to tradition in their interpretations. With their new album, the Godba Cerknica Wind Orchestra proves that contemporaneity is not so new and tradition not so different as we might imagine. Rather, both merge into an integral whole of Slovenian music, which is among the world's best in terms of quality.
The album is a gift for all fans of wind orchestra music-making and the Christmas spirit. I believe that listeners will perceive Slovenian music as a living organism and not just a concept from the past.
I consider the CD an important release because it fully represents the work of the Godba Cerknica Wind Orchestra Cultural Society and, together with the other CDs already released, represents a new path in the activities of the Society, which over the years has become an important part of the culture in the Notranjska region, in Slovenia and in the world. At the same time, it paves the way for the treasury of Slovenian music and the work of Tomaž Habe.
