Regardless of which tradition you observe, the music of winter holidays is wonderful to hear and celebrate.
Bill’s spirited selection starts in the 12th century with Nova Stella, medieval Italian Christmas music from Saint Francis of Assisi’s staging of the nativity; jazz pianist Dave Brubeck’s classical composition La Fiesta de la Posada, evoking a Mexican Christmas celebration; and Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on Christmas Carols.
We will enjoy this time of year in Paris with music from Debussy, then travel to Polynesia for a traditional hymn, Anau Oia Ea.
The celebration concludes with an excerpt from Gian Carlo Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors from the original television production.
