In Ye Olden Days
Given that Christmas music these days can get a little repetitive, I've taken the opportunity the last few Christmases to become more familiar with Christmas music of the late middle ages and the renaissance. In that vein, here's an enjoyable version of the Castellian Villancico "Riu Riu Chiu" from the 16th century. An English translation of the lyrics can be found here.
