- Description
- This paper by Col. William McIntosh titled "Songs from the Wood," focused on the Cherry Tree Carol's origins, symbolism, and cultural journey through music and illustration. McIntosh's speech, enriched by historical slides and audio clips, explores the carol's roots in European folklore, its portrayal in medieval woodcuts, and its depiction in Jeanyee Wong's illustrated book from 1951. He discusses the song's evolution from William Byrd to Jethro Tull and its symbolic representations, emphasizing the transition of the cherry tree's imagery and its speculated significance. The actual paper was not submitted. This summary was written for the minutes.
