Notes from program:Midwinter has always been a time for reflection, sharing and celebration. Since ancient times, people have gathered together to experience the turning of the new year, tellign tales of holy mystery and cheerful good fortune; this universal sense of excitement continues to be expressed in a multitude of ways around the world. We've delved into the wealth of pre-1700AD seasonal music with the intent of evoking this sense of camaraderie. Regardless of your faith or philosophy, we hope you will find a common ground in these songs. Here's to the joy of the season!"
