Glin Amar - Folks For Christmas (CD)

On "Folks For Christmas," the six musicians of Glin Amar have recorded a hand-picked selection of Christmas songs and instrumentals from all over the world. Fourteen pieces from countries such as Ireland, Hungary, Catalonia, and Germany. Christmas carols, folk songs, and hymns. No cheesy Christmas fare, but sophisticated arrangements, orchestrated with guitar and bass, flute and violin, saxophone, vibraphone and bagpipes, percussion, zither, and more. The CD comes with a 16-page booklet with all the lyrics, along with short stories and explanations of the origins and background of the pieces.
