TRIPHONIA

About this Event

The Christmas story is musically told from the annunciation of the angel Gabriel to the birth of Jesus: Songs from the 13th to 15th centuries from England, France, and Germany are presented with varied instrumental accompaniment including the sinfonia (hurdy-gurdy), the medieval bronze glockenspiel, dulce melos (dulcimer), fiddle, harp, and flutes. These include early versions of today's "Christmas hits" such as "In dulci jubilo" and "Es kumpt ein schiff laden."
