Performer: John Rutter THE LARK IN THE CLEAR AIR- Traditional Songs: I know where I am going. She moved through the fair. The lark in the clear air. Down by the sally gardens. Dashing away with the smoothing iron. The spring time of the year. The sprig of thyme. The bold grenadier. The British Grenadiers. The dark eyed sailor. The keel row. The girl I left behind me. Just as the tide was flowing. The cockoo. O waly, waly. She's like the swallow. The lover's ghost. Willow song. The willow tree. Wassail song. The miller of Dee. O can ye sew cushions. Afton water. Golden slumbers (Review by Haig Mardirosian) | conductor | CHRISTMAS FROM CLARE: King Jesus hath a garden. Up! good Christian folk and listen. Gabriel's message. Donkey Carol. Wexford Carol. Cradle Song. Child in a manger. Mary's Lullaby. Ding dong! Merrily on high. Quelle est cette odeur agréable? I saw a maiden. In dulci ¡ubilo. In the bleak mid-winter. I saw three ships. The noble stem of Jesse. The crown of roses. Jesus Christ the apple tree. Omnis mundus jocundetur. Wassail Song.
