Description
On Christmas Night is a delightful collection of Christmas carols from various cultures. The charm of children's voices, together with the Guelph Chamber Choir, makes this CD a particularly attractive gift for the Christmas season. With the added beauty of Leslie Fagan's rich, pure solo renditions of some of the most beautiful carols ever written and the accompaniment of Erica Goodman on the harp, you have a gem that captures perfectly the mood of Christmas eve.
