Tomorrow is December 1st. All of us at school are counting down the days until Winter Break (16 school days counting tomorrow). So why not start my holiday listening? No Mariah Carey. Not even the more commonly known classical Christmas works...
I used to have a tradition of listening to Corelli's Christmas concerto on Christmas mornings. Perhaps not a bad one to pick up again.
no, rather I thought I'd begin with the music of Michael Praetorius... from the early 1600's... well before Bach. Of course there is one well-known tune by Praetorius: Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
But it is nice. I like Praetorius in a general sort of way. As an aside, Pretorius (without the A) is a very common surname around here, and indeed, our capital city was named after perhaps the most famous of the Pretorius clan.
