Today is Childermas Day, the feast of the Holy Innocents, on the fourth day of Christmas. It's an appropriate day for the Coventry Carol and other medieval lullaby-laments, which give voice to the grief that lies near the heart of the Christmas season: aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2014/12/lullay…

What IS this BBC One. In my line of work I teach/perform recorder to literally thousands of people, who react positively and with enthusiasm. It occurs to me that the ONLY time I see the recorder being disparaged like this is by journalists who don't know what else to say 🙃
