A Celtic French Carol (He is Born) is a spirited English arrangement of the traditional French Carol Il est ne', le divin Enfant. One of the most famous songs of the French repertoire, the melody is derived from an Eighteenth-Century Air de Chasse (or hunting tune), entitled La Tete Bizarde (The Bizard Head). The oldest known publication of the tune is an organ arrangement by Romary Grosjean (1815-1888), musicologist and organist of the Cathedral of Saint-Die'-des-Vosges, in an 1862 collection of carols entitled Airs des Noels Lorrains. The French text for the carol was first published in Dom Georges Legeay's collection of ancient carols, Noels anciens (1875-1876). Il est ne', le divin Enfant has been translated into many languages throughout the world. One of the best English translations appeared in Walter Ehret and George K. Evans' collection The International Book of Christmas Carols (1963).

Huron Carol ('Twas the Moon of Wintertime) is perhaps the oldest Canadian song. It was written ca. 1642 by Jean de Brébeuf, a Jesuitmissionary at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons. The original words were in Huron language, but Whittall uses the English translation from 1926. The song's melody is based on a traditional French folk song “Une Jeune Pucelle”. Whittall's arrangement is done for Audite choir in 2013. It is a skillful arrangement, bringing out the best qualities of the original melody. Huron Carol ('Twas the Moon of Wintertime) on mahdollisesti vanhin kanadalainen laulu. Sen sävelsi n. vuonna 1642 Jean de Brébeuf, jesuiittojen lähetyssaarnaaja Saint-Marien lähetysasemalla Huron-kansan parissa. Laulun alkuperäinen teksti oli Huron-kansan kielellä, mutta Whittall käyttää vuoden 1926 englanninkielistä käännöstä. Laulun melodia perustuu ranskalaiseen kansansävelmään “UneJeune Pucelle”. Whittallin sovitus on tehty Audite-kuorolle 2013, ja se tuo taitavasti esiin laulun kauneimmat piirteet.

The 22 Christmas tunes contained in this collection have been carefully arranged for any combination of string trio. The most standard instrumentation for voicing is violin, viola, and cello. However, three of the same instruments work well as do other groupings, given that the higher-pitched instrument plays the higher part. This three-part format follows a standard order: part 1 is melody, part 2 is harmony, and part 3 is a traditional bass line. Optional 8va markings are sometimes given to help the voicings sound better.The selections have been arranged in alphabetic order. The melodies, both sacred and secular, cover many centuries and originate in Western Europe and the United States. Each work is in the public domain and was selected for both its quality and musical interest.Arranged specifically for a chamber setting, the trios may be performed in a variety of venues from church services to holiday gatherings.
