New Saturnalia Trio album

On Tuesday, November 26th New Weave is set to release "It Was In May" Saturnalia Trio's first album of all-new material since 2015's "Skin, Wood & Steel" - on CD and as a digital download at Apple Music, Amazon and Bandcamp. Take a trip through time and place (filtered through 21st century Portland, Oregon) - two Swedish folk tunes, a French folk tune, a Castilian Medieval tune from Alfonso X "El Sabio", a French Renaissance dance, a trouvere poem set to original music and two Bert Jansch songs - with the remainder composed by Daniel Crommie. 15 pieces will be featured including "Silent Nights", a version of the classic Christmas lullaby. There will be a different version of "Silent Night" exclusively at Bandcamp (download-only) - "Silent Night (Medieval version)". Get the album at Bandcamp.
