A Banquet of Seasonal English Music
A Banquet of Seasonal English Music
Celebrate the holidays with a repast of English music ranging from the earliest carols to later arrangements of favorites like Greensleeves by Vaughan Williams. The Folger’s 1619 manuscript A Christmas Messe—recounting a tussle between King Beef and King Brawn—offers lively accompaniment to a main course of beloved Yuletide music. A wonderful Christmas feast indeed! With strings, harp, organist Webb Wiggins, and an ensemble of voices.
In conjunction with the Folger exhibition Churchill’s Shakespeare, on display October 6 through January 6.
