Christmas in the English-speaking world from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance to early America — mostly art music transcribed from old manuscripts and prints, but plain in manner and with a strong folk vein. The programme opens with the thirteenth-century Edi be thu hevene quene, and revives a Camerata holiday staple after two generations.
