The excitement, joy, and hopeful anticipation that stem from both the traditional and commercialized components of the season are feelings I never tire of. And, in most ways this album, Veni Redemptor Gentium, is a musical celebration of what Christmas was and has become. For many, however, the holidays are a complicated time filled with traditions that have the potential to both inspire and distemper. A sentiment of peace and goodwill-the supposed promise of the season-is shared by many during this time of year, and we see it reflected in an unusual sense of calm and random acts of kindness. Yet, for every such moment we also see examples of harshness and aggression, especially when we zoom outwards to view the world on a larger scale. Centuries of ill-will in the name of religion and politics trickle down to us through generations of learned and inherited bias, and politico-religious conflict remains problematic on a global scale, despite the annual holiday promises of an end to such suffering. The medievalist interested in showcasing the beautiful music composed for the Christmas holiday is hard-pressed to find song texts from the Middle Ages that do not at least glimpse this harshness, whether it be anti-Semitic rhetoric or judgmental accusation, a de\/re\/mis-contextualized or misappropriated quotation spun against a community of people, or an oppressive governing body working to quiet the voices of some while elevating others for it's own self-interests. Indeed, it can be disheartening to turn back these centuries and dive into difficult texts and repertoire with complicated contexts for a season whose meaning is joyous. These are shadows of the past that hold a mirror to our present.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Holy Tym Oure Lord Was Born\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsaiah and Sybil's Prophecies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGabriel fram Heven King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVeni, redemptor gentium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKuando el rey Nimrod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlma redemptoris mater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAve, Regina caelorum\/Alma redemptoris mater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrientis partibus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlle psallite cum luya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork(s)~Psallite regi glorie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHail Mary, full of grace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersonent hodie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeata viscera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVox Clamantis in Deserto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDum medium silentium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnificat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow make we mirthe all and sum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuem pastores laudavere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerbum caro factum est\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTher is no rose of swych vertu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Adventu Domini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe mery, be mery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 822252281323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Avie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.12.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53235080364192,"sku":"822252281323","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/4454894-3445255.jpg?v=1770370443","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/concordian-dawn-veni-redemptor-gencium-cd","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
