"It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old. From angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold." When we began to work on our Christmas repertoire, we were swept away by the deeply beautiful melodies. Several of these traditional Christmas carols date back a few centuries! A few years ago when we were performing for community arts programs, colleges, and club meetings we sold a few thousand Christmas albums. People have told us that our Christmas album is their favorite Christmas music. We are husband and wife harpists who have been performing since 1976. We had no music background, only a fierce desire to play music. After trying several different instruments with no success, our deep yearning led us to a Lyon-Healy Troubadour harp, a medieval style harp. We called a harp teacher and asked if we were too old and did it matter that we couldn't read music. She said no so we started lessons. Thus began our adventure with our harps.
