Folk Music - Nowell Sing We Clear

Nowell Sing We Clear returns to the Princeton Folk Music Society to celebrate
the midwinter season with a pageant of religious- and pagan-inspired songs and
stories from centuries-old British and North American traditions. The songs
recount the Christmas story and detail customs and rituals which make up the
twelve magical days following the return of the light at the winter solstice.
Part of the pageant includes a mummers play, a folk drama that portrays
the death of the land at midwinter and its rebirth in spring. Most songs are
unaccompanied, but some include the dance band sound of fiddle, button
accordion, electric piano, drums, and concertina. Advance ticket sales only,
$25. Mail checks payable to PFMS to S. White, 111 Silver Tail Lane, New Hope PA
18938. Doors open at 7:30 PM. Show starts at 8:15 PM. Ample free parking.
