About

Christmas in the Middle Ages
Drawing on a wide variety of sources, mingling liturgical Latin with French, English, Italian and Iberian vernaculars, these magnificent songs, hymns and processionals show the multitude of ways in which the birth of Christ was celebrated in medieval times. The trio of female singers is accompanied by harp, fiddle, bells and wind instruments: together they touchingly evoke all the tenderness, hope and joy of medieval Christmas music.

Reviews

Bells, bagpipes and hurdy-gurdy are among the instruments accompanying the three female singers in Boston Camerata’s Hodie Christe Natus Est, a selection of hymns and songs from the medieval period. ... overall this recording taps joyfully into what [Anne] Azéma calls ‘the less stressful tonality’ of a pre-commercial Christmas period.  Terry Blain
