Christmas Ayres and Dances, Volume 2
Like in volume one, these sixteen pieces on familiar Christmas carols stand in the tradition of the seventeenth-century German house piece.
Like in volume one, these sixteen pieces on familiar Christmas carols stand in the tradition of the seventeenth-century German “house piece,” in which favorite hymns or devotional songs were played on the harpsichord in the evening for home devotions or the family’s amusement. These light-hearted pieces can be played on harpsichord, chamber organ, organ, or piano.
