Madrigal singing, brought to England from Italy in the 16th century, was at first an informal type of private entertaynemente at the castle and country homes of the landed gentry. Naturally, during the Twelve Days of the Christemasse season, there was much entertayning and synging of madrigals.
Ye Christmasse Entertaynemente
To sing songs of joy and gladness on the Holy Night of our Savior's Birth is a practiss the wycche has lasted for centuries. In Merrie Aulde England of good Queen Bess, the lords and ladies founde great delight in perfourmynge the music themselves as they dined in the Great Hall.
We wish you and your families a blessed Christemasse season filled with joy and peace.
