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