CHRISTMAS

Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella
This is a beautiful old 17th century French carol. I thought that the innocence of the alto recorder and the beauty of a full string section best portrayed the simplicity, and get the depth of this old tune.

The Coventry Carol
This carol was originally from the mid 1400's, however, the melody as it is in this version, is derived from a later version in 1591.
I chose to set the harmonic structure and instrumental color as closely to the period as I could. In this case, the guitar probably would have been a lute, and the harpsichord, of course, is itself.
