Background: Acclaimed conductors Paul McCreesh and Trevor Pinnock combine forces with their superb singers and instrumentalists to perform music for Christmas by Palestrina, Josquin, Victoria, Corelli and other Renaissance and Baroque masters with Roman connections.

No venue could be more appropriate for this film than Rome's magnificent Santa Maria Maggiore, where Palestrina was music director in the 1560s: this ancient church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin contains the relics of Christ's manger.
