02 Wexford Carol

The Wexford Carol is a traditional Irish Carol. This song came from a performance of the Nashville Early Music Ensemble at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in downtown Nashville, TN on Sunday, March 8, 2009.

The Ensemble is designed to perform the vocal and instrumental music of the Medieval and Renaissance periods as well as folk music from several world cultures. The twenty-seven member ensemble features musicians with diverse musical backgrounds but all with experience in early music. Instruments used by the ensemble include viols, lutes, guitars, ud, psaltery, harp, violin, recorders, sackbut, and a wide variety of percussion. The singers perform in original languages. The ensemble director is Dr. Gerald Moore, a retired music professor from Lipscomb University, who taught music theory and directed the university Early Music Consort for over twenty-five years.
