Medieval Christmas - cd pro cantione antiqua

A spicy Christmas from a time when classical and folk music were closely intertwined. There was no significant difference between tavern music and church music! Often more Chaucer than Christian... Sit back and enjoy the joyful sounds of this CD! The magic of the melodies and, above all, the enthralling rhythms of medieval music have influenced composers like Vaughan Williams and folk icons such as Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull. Many pieces are as popular today as they were centuries ago.

(James Griffett, co-founder of the British vocal ensemble pro cantione antiqua )
