Ensemble Galilei - Winter's Night: Christmas in the Great Hall

Subtitled 'Christmas in the Great Hall,' this album is sure to delight early music fans! Traditional Christmas favorites, medieval and renaissance dance music, Celtic carols from Galica and the Shetland islands, 17th century English carols and original compositions are the perfect musical accompaniment to celebrate the holiday season. In the practice rooms at music conservatories and at all night sessions in Irish pubs, this group continues to discover new ways to combine early music with traditional and Celtic folk traditions that give this popular group their unique sound.
