A recording by brothers Josh and Robin Layne.   Performing on the pedal harp and marimba, the brothers create a rich and enveloping sound that is perfect for the holiday season.  With over 50 minutes of familiar Christmas favorites, this album is sure to become a family tradition. 

From the CD liner notes:

"Christmas music is special to both of us.  This collection features some of our favourite Christmas songs.  On it are carols for solo harp - Carlos Salzedo's marvelous arrangements, including two of his Concert Variations (O Tannenbaum and O Come All Ye Faithful); a carol for marimba and drums (Robin arranged and played both parts!); and most especially, carols for harp and marimba.  The harp and marimba are both unusual instruments.  Together, they create a wonderful sound. 
 
Listen to clips.  Also available at CD Baby.
