This year we were again constrained by the Covid-19 pandemic which prevented us from presenting our performance live.
This is a “table read” – with costuming – of a variation we were inspired to try this year – with the Shepherds re-imagined as Shepherdesses. We hope you will like it.
This year we also wanted to up the ante musically. With Zoom, our live-streaming tool, it is not really possible to sing together, as the network latency between the different participants makes it more or less impossible to stay in sync with each other.
This year, we arranged to meet together before the livestream and record the songs ensemble. We are generously provided meeting space by the Ugly Mug cafe in Soquel, CA. (NB. we all tested ourselves negative with OTC antigen test before singing together).
The piano performance comes from midi files recorded some years ago by the late Daniel Birns, who we remember gratefully for contributing to this new rendering.
