Nice! And I love the setting, sitting at the tables. But my favorite one on YouTube is still the Travelers Dream one.

My new favorite Christmas Song! What? An ode to a feast! Amazing good.

watched some of the differntMadrigal Youtube postings and I find many of them to be overly polished, sometimes operetic, with so much formality you have to wonder who were the people who sang such music?

I really liked this version because it really caught the lusty spirit of the song. Bravo!

@schrockley7 yeah. we had horrible balance looking back on it now. way too tenor-heavy. and the ends of phrases are not very good either.

[schrockley7]
