widespread episode is being rerun in a barely improved model.
This can be a love letter to the nice English Christmas carols,
from “There Is No Rose” to “The Boar’s Head”.
Do you know that not simply any Christmas music is a carol? The
true carol, in all its earthy splendor, is a particular product of
the Catholic center ages. But our forefathers didn’t restrict caroling
to Christmas: they wrote carols for each season of the yr
masking your entire story of our Redemption, to not point out secular
matters at occasions.
This episode explores the origin of carols in England, their
cultural that means, and the way they had been suppressed by the Puritans and
had been revived in fashionable occasions. And naturally, you’ll hear quite a lot of
nice music all through, starting from traditionally knowledgeable
efficiency to fashionable preparations!
