Harping On Christmas Three

This time around we feature a harp album that utilizes not one but two harps and harpists. It's double the excitement and double the fun. There were also three info cards in the sleeve alongside the vinyl, each of them identical except for the hand-colored drawing at the top of the sheet featuring a pair of harps (of course). Even the hand drawn bits were remarkably similar, but you could tell each one was a little bit different. I thought those were kind of interesting, so I scanned all three of them and dropped them in the download for you. This is Linda Grieser And Janice Bishop-Holiday Harps (Fellers Electronics/Musicol 103515/103516, Stereo).

1. Christmas Medley For Duo Harps: Hallelujah Chorus; Joy To The World; It Came Upon A Midnight Clear; I Wonder As I Wander
2. Cantique De Noel (O Holy Night)
3. Christmas Fantasy: The First Noel; Silent Night; Angels From The Realms Of Glory
4. Ave Maria
5. O Come, All Ye Faithful
6. Sleigh Ride
7. Bring A Torch, Jeannette Isabella
8. Gesu Bambino
9. Christmas Chimes; Silver Bells
10. Patapan; Coventry Carol; My Dancing Day
11. Fantasia On Greensleeves
12. Deck The Halls With Boughs Of Holly
