This magnificent 1988 album of Traditional Christmas Carols and Dances with Hammered Dulcimer, Celtic Harp, and Other Instruments can be enjoyed all throughout the year, because of the fresh interpretations to both familiar and unusual tunes. Some carols, originally danced in ancient times, are recreated with the joyous rhythms of the cittern and Irish drum. Baroque-style medieval pieces are elegantly enhanced with recorder, viola da gamba, and finger cymbals; most of the musicians are women. Maggie's artistry on the hammered dulcimer, with all its inventiveness and musical expression, really shines through. Highly recommended!
