Send us a text Step into the quiet edge of the solstice with us as we sink into two haunting carols that reward slow listening: the medieval Corpus Christi Carol and Christina Rossetti’s In the Bleak Midwinter. What begins as cozy music for a dark evening opens into a layered meditation on wounds that do not close, love that does not boast, and the way paradox can hold more truth than tidy answers. We start with the falcon, the orchard brown, and a knight who bleeds without end. From Euchari...
