Concordian Dawn - Veni, Redemptor Gencium

Nicholas Tamagna, counter tenor and percussion
Christopher Preston Thompson, tenor and medieval harp
Jonathan Woody, baritone and recorder

Concordian Dawn takes the audience on a Medieval Holiday journey portraying various phases of the Christmas story, from the prophecy of Christ's coming to his redeeming birth and the celebration of the heavens and earth, including songs of veneration of Mary, as well as a humorous secular song about caroling for pennies and an entertaining look at Christ's birth from Joseph's perspective.
