Caught the Midwinter Revels (dress rehearsal show) at Sanders Theatre tonight, and my heart was warmed. It remains a candle in the darkness. Go see it if you can, and sing! sing! sing!

(This year it's even better if you know some Swedish, but not necessary.)

Good morning, gentlemen, a sleeping I have been.

And I’ve had such a sleep as the like was never seen.

But now I am awake, alive unto this day.

The dancers shall have their dance and the doctor take his pay.

Welcome #Yule, for those of us in the southern half. #WinterSolstice

Mull some wine or juice, stay warm, and remember the light. 🕯

I like to recite The Shortest Day by Susan Cooper, a tradition I picked up back north-side when I worked on the Christmas #Revels.

Rocky Mountain Revels is small compared to the big #Revels in New England, but they've got a lot of heart. It was fantastic seeing them in the #Boulder Dairy Center and hearing one of my two favorite Christmas songs.

Welcome Yule!

A perfect #christmaspresent for lovers of #earlymusic and #history

A selection of #earlymodern #carols, #ballads, #madrigals, #dance melodies and consort songs, and follows the religious calendar from #Advent to #Candlemas. It also describes many of the #festive #customs of the time, with #feasts and #revels through the #cold of #winter, and fairs upon the frozen river.
