Nowell Sing We Clear
A Pageant of Traditional Seasonal Music and Song
Presented by the Folk Music Society of New York
Presented by the Folk Music Society of New York
Missing
the Christmas Revels? Want a taste of the music and foolery that is so
much a part of Revels? We have a recommendation for you. The Folk
Music Society of New York is bringing Nowell Sing We Clear to New York in December.
Nowell Sing We Clear
celebrates the season with songs, carols, stories and customs from an
age when the winter solstice was a time for joyous celebration and
vigorous expression of older, perhaps pagan religious ideas. While much
of the singing is acappella, the pageant is also stamped with the
energetic dance band sound of fiddle, button accordion, electric piano,
drums and concertina. The audience will be encouraged to sing along. A
special treat is a Mummers Play symbolizing the death of the land at
midwinter and its rebirth in the spring. Performers are John Roberts
and Tony Barrand, widely know for their lively presentations of English
folk songs, and Fred Breunig and Andy Davis, well-known in New England
as dance callers and musicians
