An exceptional collection of three American Christmas songs for flute and organ (or piano). The first, Hail the Blest Morn, is a Kentucky folk song featuring modal harmonies and a gentle, dancing quality. This is followed by the familiar spiritual Mary Had a Baby, simply shaped and expressive. The third song is Ye Nations All, a modal shape-note tune by William Walker, presented here as a lively culminating dance - a charming finale for the set.
