Medieval Christmas 2016

I’m planning to focus this year’s Medieval Christmas on 15th century English carols. I may have to make a 15th century houpelande and chaperon. Four of them are from the Trinity Roll, at Trinity College, Cambridge,  MS. O. 3. 58, from about 1420.

Alamire made an excellent recording of these carols.
