Winter's Majesty is the seventeenth album by Nox Arcana, concluding their winter-themed trilogy, which also includes Winter's Knight (2005) and Winter's Eve (2009).[1]
The music on this album features original and traditional holiday songs, including an instrumental version of "We Three Kings" and a new rendition of "Scarborough Fair" which is presented as a ghost-story with original lyrics and musical arrangements by Joseph Vargo and vocals performed by Jeff Endemann. The overall tone of Winter's Majesty is summarized by one reviewer as "a return to the dark feel of Winter's Knight, while still retaining the lighter elements of Winter's Eve."[2]
