Event Description

The celebration of Yule in Northern Europe harks back to a transition from ancient Pagan Germanic culture to the more formal spirituality of the newer Christian rite. Christmas, as we mostly now call it, gave us hymns, processions and chants, and in between, silence in church. Yule meant a vibrant pre-Christian secularity, with feasting and dancing, the noise of instruments and decorating the house with holly, ivy and mistletoe as a tribute to the gods of earth and air. The music in this concert dates from a time when in a throwback to Yule churches were decorated with Christmas greenery, and at home there would be carols sung round a burning Yule log, the two traditions side by side.

Joining the trio will be Catalina Vicens on organetto, for a program of Scandinavian traditional Christmas folk songs and hymns, English medieval Carols
and two contemporary works written for Trio Mediæval.

The crystalline voices of Trio Mediæval have captivated audiences since the group was founded in Oslo in 1997. The Grammy-nominated trio’s core repertoire features sacred monophonic and polyphonic medieval music from England, Italy and France; contemporary works written for the ensemble; and traditional Norwegian, Swedish and Icelandic ballads and songs. The group’s fruitful relationship with the legendary ECM Records, collaborative spirit, and busy touring schedule has earned them worldwide renown.

“Singing doesn’t get more unnervingly beautiful. To hear the group’s note-perfect counterpoint - as pristine and inviting as clean, white linens - is to be astonished at what the human voice is capable of.” - Joshua Kosman, the San Francisco Chronicle
