The Moon of Winter
The Huron Carol is Canada's oldest Christmas carol, written in 1643 by Jean de Brebeuf, 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, Brebeuf wrote the lyrics in their native language. The Moon of Winter is a powerful, moving adaptation of the carol for strings that will bring a sense of reverence and honor to your Christmas concert program.
