Christmas Vespers by Praetorius
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, December 4, 2016 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
This week we listen to Christmas selections by Michael Praetorius from the album Christmas Vespers: The Music of Michael Praetorius by Apollo’s Fire Baroque Orchestra and their director, Jeannette Sorrell. Along with Bach, Praetorius is one of the most important composers of Protestant church music.
And we continue our conversation with Vivian Howard of PBS’s A Chef’s Life and chef/owner of The Chef and the Farmer. Vivian has a new cookbook out called Deep Run Roots: Stories and Recipes from My Corner of the South, and she talks with Rachel about her family’s interesting breakfast traditions.
