Wolcum Yule
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, December 17, 2017 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
This week’s program has a Celtic flavor as we listen to tracks from Anonymous 4’s album Wolcum Yule – Celtic and British Carols and Songs. This critically acclaimed recording from 2003 features Christian and pre-Christian tunes for the season from all corners of Britain and Ireland as well as selections by composers such as Benjamin Britten, Peter Maxwell Davies, and Henry VIII.
And Rachel talks with celtic fiddler Jamie Laval about his annual Celtic Christmas show that is coming to several North Carolina venues. This year he’s added music from Brittany and Iceland.
