Video: Twas the Night Before Christmas for Narrator and Harp

In 2010, I started accompanying Spellbinder storyteller, Germaine Dietsche reciting the famous Clement C. Moore poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas" for the Teddy Bear Hour at the Aspen Historical Society.  The children loved the poem so expressively told by Germaine and they loved the sound effects of the harp that drew them into the story.  I decided to create a video using the wonderful characters that Jessie Willcox Smith created for the book which is in the public domain of the Project Gutenberg website.  By using iMovie and some wonderful Photoshop brushes, this poem really comes to life.  Please enjoy!

Also available for 22 string harp.
