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,
adding a sense of
reverence and honor.
