A review by Tweet of Renaissance’s (@RenaissanceBenR's) recital for York Early Music Christmas Festival (@yorkearlymusic) at All Saints’ Church, North Street, York, on Wednesday 10 December 2014
Very pleasant, in Renaissance's recital A Hymn of the Nativity for @yorkearlymusic, to recognize Camilla Harris' voice

The first high-points of Renaissance's @yorkearlymusic recital were Mark Shepperdand Ben Rowarth's settings of There is no rose

Renaissance's first half at @yorkearlymusic concluded suitably with Herbert Howells' Here is the little door

We probably know The Coventry Carol (usually as edited by Reginald Jacques and David Willcocks) : a delight to hear Kenneth Leighton's first

Just one of three Leighton pieces in Renaissance's second half at @yorkearlymusic, culminating with his A Hymn of the Nativity ->

There you all are at @trinchapel, @EoNomine2013 ! Lovely to hear / meet Camilla again at @yorkearlymusic earlier...

-> It had a solo from Camilla Harris, who, just before - in a verse in Thomas Ravenscroft's Remember, O Thou Man - had brought tears of joy

And no programme of Advent / Christmas music of this quality could miss Peter Warlock's Bethlehem Down, just before the Ravenscroft !

Not that the Advent Antiphons were not good (although the last couple were shaky ?) and the earlier repertoire, but these were exceptional !
