Following are some of the notes from the CD liner:

"The harp and marimba are both unusual instruments. Together, they create a wonderful sound. As you can imagine, there aren't any Christmas carols arranged for harp and marimba, so we did our own arrangements.

It was great fun creating these arrangements and bringing them to life. I (Josh) particularly enjoyed writing Medley of the Bells and fitting five carols together.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel is one of our favourite arrangements to play, and makes good use of the rich, enveloping sound the two instruments can produce.

Unlike most of the carols, we ad-lib quite a bit when playing Jingle Bells. We have a framework that we follow, but each time we play it, it's different. We're very happy with the cut on this CD.

We hope you have as much fun listening to these songs as we've had arranging and recording them!"
