Notes & Reviews:

Even centuries ago, Christmas was something for the heart. Although the birth of Christ is not the highest festival in the church year, it has always been the most important for the people. Already during the Renaissance, the magic of light during the dark season of the year and the moving story of the Savior who came into the world in a manger with poor shepherds were grounds for the intense feelings expressed in a rich body of songs throughout Europe. Composers took up this folk style and adapted it in elaborate arrangements. Villancicos, Spanish peasant songs from the 15th and 16th centuries, are featured on this new recording, along with Renaissance songs from various regions of Italy.
