| Martha Stewart Living Music Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and SONY BMG are proud to announce the creation of Martha Stewart Living Music, a partnership that will release a series of compilation albums for holidays and special occasions. Martha Stewart Living Music will launch with the release of Martha Stewart Living Music: The Holiday Collection by Epic Records on October 18th. Compiled by Martha Stewart, The Holiday Collection will be released individually and as a three-disc, deluxe box set. Each individual release will include a special holiday recipe from Martha Stewart Living and all box-set collections will include an assortment of 30 recipe cards, useful decoration tips and creative craft ideas. "Music helps set the tone for any occasion, " said Susan Lyne, MSLO President and CEO. "Martha's selections for this compilation will make any holiday gathering more festive. We're very pleased to team with SONY BMG, the ideal distribution partner for this venture." "We couldn't dream up a better partner than Martha Stewart to create the ultimate music collections for entertaining. And we are tremendously proud to be her collaborators on this series, " commented Epic Records President Steve Barnett. The initial holiday set includes three inspired CD compilations of Martha's favorite holiday music - Traditional Songs for the Holidays, Jazz for the Holidays, and Classical Favorites for the Holidays - each featuring well- loved selections performed by some of the finest artists of yesterday and today. The collection provides music you can play for every seasonal occasion: to accompany an afternoon of gift-wrapping, liven up a holiday cocktail party, or add an elegant note to a formal Christmas dinner. "Great music is an important part of living, especially during the holidays. Family activities such as gift wrapping, baking, cooking, and entertaining are enlivened with beautiful songs, traditional carols, fantastic vocalists, and famous musical renditions, " said Martha Stewart, Founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. "Each selection in the compilation was carefully chosen from my many favorites for the holidays. I hope the Martha Stewart Living Music Series will become part of everyone's holiday traditions."
