THE INDIANAPOLIS FESTIVAL BAND & ALCHYMY VIOLS: ANCIENT AIRS AND DANCES
AGNES COAKLEY, SOPRANO OLIVIA CASTOR, HARP
This concert features the original tunes that inspired Bach, Holst, Respighi, Smetana, and Vaughn Williams; including the original song that serves as the basis for one of our most popular Christmas carols, another song that is the basis for the Israeli National Anthem, and the tune that had more English ballad texts sung to it than any other! A veritable greatest hits of the Renaissance!
