With noise and fog the flowering of the spirit.

Early Music Christmas: Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming
Saturday, December 18, 2021 at 8PM & Sunday, December 19, 2021 at 3PM
Schroeder Hall, Green Music Center
Jenni Samuelson, soprano · Phebe Craig, Organ · The Whole Noyse · Circa 1600
Bachgrounder 35 minutes before each concert
The New Oxford Book of Carols, published nearly 30 years ago, is a magisterial collection of songs for Christmas, with settings of both beloved and lesser-known carols from throughout Europe and around the world, all wrapped up with a bow of top-notch scholarship and illuminating commentary. Circa 1600, joined by brass, organ and our wonderful soprano soloist, present a bouquet of songs from the NOBC in settings from spare to magnificent. Our program includes arrangements—by both ancient and modern composers—of pieces drawn from the various types and epochs of the carol. In this our 9th Early Music Christmas, we will invite our audience to lift voices and hearts to join us for the festive song which closes each set.
