Subject: RE: Heads up - BBC4 tonight Christmas Folk
I don't think Christmas has started until I hear Oriente Partibus.
Me neither - although with me it has to be on The Clemencic Consort's classic 1979 recording La Fete de l'Ane in which they reconstruct a medieval Feast of the Ass, a piece of ritual reversal in which the entire Mass was inverted into a veneration of the ass & related misrule. Of course, tracking a copy of this down even on CD might prove problematic, but lovers of great & wild music can download the etire thing GRATIS from HERE
