English Christmas music is renowned far beyond the British Isles for its beautiful carols. Together with the Scottish soprano Carine Tinney, ensemble feuervogel traces the roots of this fascinating tradition.
The carols tell the story of Christmas and include tender lullabies for the Christ Child. Yet their origins reach much further back: originally, carols were popular dance songs whose melodies were later combined with Christian texts. In this way, they still reflect the rich religious and cultural history of Great Britain today. With voices and a colourful variety of historical instruments — including renaissance consort, medieval recorders, double flutes, bells, cymbals, pipe-and-tabor, and drums — ensemble feuervogel brings to life the unique sound world of five centuries of English carol tradition.
