The York Waits Christmas Collection: “Mediaeval and Renaissance Christmas Musicke specially restor’d and arranged for instrements & voices”:
The York Waits are a most accomplished and exuberant bunch of musicians and delight all who hear them. Although specified for particular early instruments such as sackbuts, shawms, crumhorns, bagpipes and the like, this appealing music works very well on recorders with a soprano voice, or descant recorder, on the top line. In fact, any combination can work to bring this wonderful collection of Christmas music alive.
