QUADRIGA CONSORT presents long-forgotten carols and age-old tunes of the festive season. Early Christmas Music and Carols from the British Isles. Traditional melodies and songs played on historical instruments like Viola da Gamba flute, baroque cello, and harpsichord. Quadriga Consort is an early music band on an expedition to the origins of pop music: early ballads and tunes from the British Isles, ranging from rollicking dance music to the Celtic-Gaelic and the courtly song traditions. The archaic melodies provide the basis for authentic music of today and tomorrow, with interpretations so fresh, that they make many a pop song of today pale in comparison to the enduringly moving ancient songs of love, yearning, joy and sorrow. “… luminescently beautiful … utterly joyful” Gramophone
