The holiday season means music, and for many, it also means gift-giving. Classical MPR's Associate Music Director Jennifer Allen has a look at some of the year's new holiday albums as you consider gifts for the music lover in your life (maybe even for yourself).

Jennifer says: "Miami-based Seraphic Fire is joined by young harpist Jacqueline Kerrod in this collection of familiar carols and new compositions. Julie Amacher recently featured this album on New Classical Tracks."

Jennifer says: "The warm, resonant tone of vocal quartet New York Polyphony shines on this recording of mesmerizing medieval chants and newer tunes in surprising and intriguing arrangements."

Jennifer says: "Charming miniatures by famous harp composer Bernard Andres are woven with traditional Christmas tunes on this disc of solo harp music, giving the familiar carols an intriguing twist."
