Description:
The Huron Carol is Canada's oldest Christmas carol, written in 1643 by Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit missionary. The melody is from a tradition French folk song, 'Une Jeune Pucelle' (A Young Maid). Intended as a gift and teaching aid to the Huron people, Brebeuf wrote the lyrics in their native language. The Moon of Winter is a powerful and moving adaptation of this carol for band that will enhance your next Christmas concert, adding a sense of reverence and honor.
