about

The first piece was originally a Franciscan chant from the 15th century. English words (translated from 12th century Latin) were added in 1851 by John Mason Neale, who also wrote the words to “Good King Wenceslas.” “Light of Love” is an old English ballad tune, again mentioned in Shakespeare, this time in Much Ado About Nothing. I learned it from my friend, Maryland multi-instrumentalist and composer Jared Denhard. The “Sussex Carol” comes from Sussex, England (no surprises there), and is also known as “On Christmas Night All Christians Sing.”
