https://passamezzo.bandcamp.com/album/to-shorten-winters-sadness-2
A perfect #christmaspresent for lovers of #earlymusic and #history
A selection of #earlymodern #carols, #ballads, #madrigals, #dance melodies and consort songs, and follows the religious calendar from #Advent to #Candlemas. It also describes many of the #festive #customs of the time, with #feasts and #revels through the #cold of #winter, and fairs upon the frozen river.

Remember O thou man, an anonymous carol from Thomas #Ravenscroft's Melismata, 1611.
