  1. If I were a wise man

    Today I was a wise man. A wise man in a living nativity. Part dress-up; part improv – talking to people as they pass through, teaching them about the three gifts (gold, frankincense, and myrrh), where the two non-obvious ones come from, and what they mean.

    It was a lot of fun. I am glad I was roped into it now.

  3. 6 January is the feast of the #Epiphany, so here is Vidimus Stellam, an early #17thCentury #motet for the day by William #Byrd, from #Gradualia, 1607.

    Eleanor Cramer: #soprano
    Christopher Goodwin: #lute
    Alison Kinder: bass #viol
    Tamsin Lewis: tenor viol

    Vidimus stellam in Orientem, et venimus cum muneribus adorare Dominum.
    We have seen a star in the East, and have come with gifts to adore the Lord.
