When it comes to Christmas music, I’m typically a Vince Guaraldi Trio kind of lady. This year, I’m enjoying this collection of Christmas folk songs by the Seeger Sisters.
A collection of Christmas folksongs by Ruth Crawford Seeger, selected and performed by her daughters Peggy, Barbara and Penny, with children from the South Boston Music School. This compilation of less-commonly known Christmas songs represents a variety of folksongs that find their origin in European and British Isles Ballads, as well as several African-American spirituals, hollers and chants from the slave era that express a deeply spiritual celebration of Christmas. Liner notes include history of each song by Charles and Peggy Seeger.
Vince Guaraldi is my favorite for Christmas. Listened to it once through already this morning as I packaged up my orders and cleaned my office.
