Holiday #MusicPick: The Boars Head Carol, The Chieftains This 15th century English Christmas carol describes the ancient tradition of presenting a boars head at a Yuletide feast. The boars head, with apple in mouth, was carried into the banquet hall on a gold or silver dish accompanied by the songs of minstrels. Caput apri defero [I bring in the boars head] Reddens laudes Domino [Giving thanks to the lord] Wild boar, feasting, singing ... seems to cover all of my holiday high spots pretty well. Enjoy! - Paul Rosenblum, Managing Director
