Why This CD Matters
The Night Heron Consort, led by fiddler and guitarist Steve Schuch, brings together folk and chamber musicians for a Christmas program shaped by Celtic traditions. Familiar carols like “Away In The Manger” and “Silent Night” sit alongside less familiar selections such as “El Noy De La Mare.” Fiddle, harp, pipes, whistle, guitar, cello, and percussion give the arrangements a blend of acoustic folk energy and chamber textures.
