A collection of three American Christmas songs arranged for flute and organ (or piano). The first, Hail the Blest Morn, is a Kentucky folk song, featuring modal harmonies and a gentle, dancing quality. This is followed by the familiar spiritual, Mary Had a Baby, simply shaped and expressive. The third song is Ye Nations All, a modal shape note tune by William (“Singing Billy”) Walker, presented here as a lively culminating dance for the set. -William Averitt
