Christmas with Henry VIII and Peter Warlock
California Bach Society, under the direction of Paul Flight, celebrates the English carol tradition, from early 15th-century examples to its revival in the 20th century. The program features medieval songs, including “Green Grow’th the Holly” by Henry VIII himself, as well as motets from the 16th century: Wylkynson’s majestic nine-voice “Salve Regina” and Parsons’ elegant “Ave Maria.”
