Both standard and less familiar carols are woven together in rich duet tapestries. Both violin and piano have equally important parts in the arrangements, allowing them to pass the starring role seamlessly back and forth. Sometimes playful and joyful, and at other times serene and mystical, each of the seven duets in this appealing collection boasts its own mood and musical style. This worthy addition to the repertoire for studio, recital, or worship venues includes: God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen; Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence; Angels We Have Heard on High; In the Bleak Midwinter; Good Christian Friends, Rejoice!; Love Came Down at Christmas and Joy to the World.
