Three Notch'd Road kicks off the holiday season with baroque music from countries of Western Europe in this Christmas luncheon concert presented by the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. The program features soprano Sheila Dietrich and lutenist Cameron Welke and includes festive carols, wassails & dances, and a selection from Handel's "Messiah." Airs of Britain such as "Lute-book lullaby," improvisations on "Greensleeves," and the Irish "Wexford carol" join the work of composers Henry Purcell, Robert de Visée, Josquin des Prez, John Dowland & Jean-Philippe Rameau. This concert is made possible by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.
