The Stories of Twelve Carols: 2020 Edition
As we look forward to this year’s Festival of Carols on All Classical Portland, it’s time to again share the stories of twelve famous carols! Our Program Director, John Pitman, has chosen a lovely selection of twelve carols for us to explore this year, and as All Classical’s Music Researcher, it’s been my mission to track down their origins, following the trails of Renaissance dance tunes, Valencian shepherds, plays by Molière, and sixteenth-century English tailors. Enjoy the journey!
Check out last year’s edition of The Story of Twelve Carols!
Be sure to tune in to our annual Festival of Carols: five full days of carols from December 21 – 25. Listen at 89.9 FM in Portland, or anywhere at allclassical.org!
Check out our Spotify playlist inspired by this list, with a similar lineup of music.
