Peter Medhurst gave me new incites to the C\carol e commonly sing and I did no know that it was an American carol! and i learned so much about the Coventry carol. The paintings he showed us were a wonderful explanation of our Christian faith.
As always, a broadly-based and in-depth brilliant discussion of the many historical, musical, and artistic aspects of the Epiphany.
