Remembering Sir David Willcocks on his birthday, directing two favorite Christmas carols arranged by Vaughan Williams.
“Yorkshire Wassail Song”
“Wassail Song”
Of course, Willcocks also conducted my favorite recording of RVW’s “Hodie,” which I got to enjoy this year on Christmas Day. Here it is again, a few days late.
Willcocks died in 2015, at the age of 95.
