notes

musicians on cd:Musicians feature Maggie Sansone on hammered dulcimer with Robin Bullock on guitar, cittern, violin,mandolin; Sue Richards on Celtic Harp; Wendy Morrison on concertina; Linda Lunbeck on recorders; Carolyn Surrick on Viola da gamba; Myron Bretholz on Bodhran and Mike Varas on dombek (medieval drum).Maggie Sansone brings a unique beauty and vision to the ancient music of the Celts. Her albums ring with a Renaissance spirit, Celtic melodies, and a jazzy new crossover into what she calls "cool Celtic." It's a fusion of ancient sounds and modern sensibility, fueled by the innovative use of old and new instruments. And at the center of it all, there are the percussive yet melodious sounds of Maggie's wooden mallets dancing across the dulcimer's seventy strings.

Maggie Sansone is American's finest hammered dulcimer performers and producers of Celtic Christmas recordings in the world. This recording, one of the first in this genre continues to be a popular seller worldwide for its chamber ensemble folk sound- the best of classical ensemble arrangements and variations, the warmth and intimacy of chamber music and the energy and spirit of Celtic music.
