Harping On Christmas Two

Here's another record that features the music of the harp to celebrate Christmas. Seems a very good fit even if it's difficult to imagine a harp as the lead instrument for any form of music. This is Sally Goodwin-Season's Greetings (Mark MC 6939, Stereo, 1977). I love when the harp is larger than the person playing it.

1. Greensleeves
2. Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring
3. Lo, How A Rose; Bring A Torch, Jeanette Isabella
4. Noel Pour La Harpe, Op. 32, #1
5. Noel Pour La Harpe, Op. 32, #3
6. Away In A Manger; Silent Night
7. White Christmas
8. My Favorite Things
9. Fantasy On A Catalan Carol; Fantasy On A Basque Carol
10. Cantique De Noel

    I'm always intrigued to see another rendition of My Favorite Things, especially since it's not actually a Christmas song...so fascinating how the combination of it being included on Jack Jones' 1964 Christmas album & popularity of the 1965 film helped cement people covering it in this context.

      Am I mistaken? I thought Andy Williams was the first to pretend it's a Christmas song.
