Phideas’ Christmas Collection [320 MP3]
After the premier of In Terra Pax Finzi took Vaughan Williams and his wife up the hill to the church where the bells had inspired the music. Already dying, he came in contact with children infected by chicken pox that compromised his failing immunity system and thus hastened his death.
“A frosty Christmas Eve when the stars are shining fared I forth alone where westword falls the hill, and from the village in the water’d valley distant music reach’d me peels of bells a-ringing; the constellated sounds ran sparking on earth’s floor, as the dark vault above with stars spangled o’er.”
“And lo, the angel of the lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them: fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy”

A MEDIEVAL CHRISTMAS
THE BOSTON CAMERA
1975
JOEL COHEN director
Joel Cohen & company present Christmas when it was ChristMass. The music is haunting and mystical in a way that engages the mystery of the Gospel of John. If you yearn for another time; a chapel clouded by frosted breath, smoky braziers swinging, incense laden, torch lit, chant of echoing voices and solo speakers reciting ancient prophecies all accompanied by traditional instruments- this will transport you there. An unforgettable collection of music.
