NEW CHRISTMAS PHYSICAL CD Midnight ’til Morning

Description

Midnight ’til Morning, Minor & Medieval Harp Christmas Carols

This is the music of yearning, longing, anticipation—between midnight and morning.

Come into a magical minor key Christmas, with Anna Hagen’s newest harp CD, Midnight ’til Morning, a collection of twelve rare, ancient, haunting Christmas carols from across the centuries.

In this album, Anna combines her love of minor key medieval music with a delight in modern electric effects, layering harp, reverb, winds, percussion to create an EPIC seasonal score. Before holiday music meant saccharine department-store playlists, Christmas sounded like this.

Across twelve tracks, the music moves from medieval Europe to Scotland, Ireland, England, France, Appalachia, and the First Nations of Canada. Some tracks a perennial favorites like O Come O Come Emanual and I Saw Three Ships. Others will become a new favorite like the medieval take on joy to the world, Gaudete or the revelatory Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence.
