A Colonial Yuletide

 

The year is 1750 and George is King of England. In the colonies, people make ready for the Christmas holiday.

 

Celebrate the holidays in a colonial setting, reminiscent of early America. Just as happened hundreds of years ago, the holidays bring forth joyous music, festive celebrations, and a spirit of bonhomie.  The music of that time runs the full gamut from the stately and serene (Ideo) to merry Sussex Carol and Masters in this Hall. Drawing on the diverse backgrounds of America’s early settlers, the influences of other countries are clearly evident in such carols as Come All Ye Shepherds, Fum, Fum, Fum, The Seven Joys of Mary and March of the Kings. There are those that are uniquely American, too – Tomorrow Shall be My Dancing Day and While by My Sheep (the Echo Carol). These and many others offer another perspective of the most beloved holiday of them all. In colonial costume and rich harmony,

The Doorway Singers bring you this Christmas gift.

 

 

Happy Holidays!
