Jig of Life And so, to complete our Seasonal Quartergy we submit to you our Summer offering.

Sir Christèmas Sir Christèmas: a delicious tour through some of our favorite Yultide music. Sometimes angelic and beautiful, sometimes strange and haunting, this collection is sure to deepen your experience of the frosty winter months. Tired of "Deck the Halls" and "Jingle Bells"? You won't find them on this inspired yet curious collection. Glistening with over five hundred years of Western history, straying into French, Spanish, and Old English, bridging both Christian and Pagan themes, the music suggests celebration, for whosoever it is intended. "Thank you so much for making 'Sir
Chirstemas'. I am always looking for |

Brocelïande Debut CD - Still Available Brocelïande's debut recording includes original arrangements of a variety of traditional and Early music. It ranges in feel from driving, danceable Celtic and Medieval beats to haunting, atmospherically lovely ballads to the exciting 4-part vocals of a capella Renaissance madrigals.
