The Rose Ensemble

The Shaker ideal: Don't make something unless it is both necessary and useful; but if it is both necessary and useful, don't hesitate to make it beautiful. The members of the Rose Ensemble join host Fred Child in the studio for early American holiday music, including several beautiful Shaker tunes. Plus, Ottorino Respighi's "Three Botticelli Pictures," from a concert in St. Paul.
