Dandansoy, I will leave you now. I shall go home to my hut. If you become filled with longing, all you have to do is cast your gaze in my hut’s direction.

Here’s a song for you… Hol Doyon Kuy D'wata by Grace Nono

She sounds majestic. Her music is mainly influenced by indigenous Filipino music, and her music never fails to send frisson all over.

An Irish Christmas: a Musical Solstice Celebration, from the Irish Arts Center, at Symphony Space

One can be thankful that it really is possible to ignore the worst excesses of the Holiday Season if one stays away from Midtown and shuns the Media, but it is discouraging to realize that many of the traditional aspects of it which give us the reassuring glow of tradition are in fact clichés, worn-out, empty rituals we attend because there’s nothing better around. A few brass instruments and kettledrums in church don’t really make a difference. A recent weekend in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, however, showed how lively the Season can be, if one really understands its importance, like the Moravian Protestants who make the Star of Bethlehem their central symbol, celebrate with a gusto seldom found anywhere else, from earnest in the pews to some prodigious eating and drinking.
