Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
"Apples in Winter" is a compilation of music from various times and cultures in a celebration of traditions of Christmas and the Winter season. From France came the 13th century "Marche de Turenne," as well as the 16th century song, "Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella." We drew from Scotland's musical heritage in selecting a Shetland tune entitled "Christmas Day Ida Morning," Robert Burns original version of "Auld Lang Syne," and a beautiful Hebridian melody, "The Christ Child's Lullaby." England offered us wonderful dance tunes such as "Chestnut" and "Parson's Farewell" from the 17th century English Dancing Master, as well as the popular "Gloucester Wassail." Turlough O'Carolan of Ireland composed dozens of memorable melodies and we chose his "Carolan's Welcome" for our recording. We included the first carol written in the new world, the "Huron Carol", and from the rich musical history of Virginia came such tunes as "Breaking up Christmas" and "Cold Frosty Morning."
