We're celebrating the season of Advent on this week's show, with works like Canite tuba by Giovanni da Palestrina, Charpentier's O Antiphons, Alma redemptoris mater by Tomás Luis de Victoria, and settings of Nun komm der Heiden Heiland by Buxtehude and Bach. We'll also hear medieval music for the Feast of St. Nicholas performed by La Reverdie.
