Xmas music recommendations--not your standard collections

[KD Burke]

I very much enjoy traditional carols: "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "The Carol of the Bells", "I Saw Three Ships", etc.

Several years ago, on a whim, I purchased a "Medieval Christmas" CD. The performers reproduced, as faithfully as possible from the original sources, the music actually performed during the middle ages. I regret that I lost it some time ago.

I recall that it was haunting and melancholy to a degree that would be unthinkable today. It drove home to me just how fragile and difficult life was in that era.

KD, that may be another collection by Boston Camerata, whose American Christmas I mentioned up-thread.
