A Canadian Christmas

Get ready for an abundance of merriment! This work features carols that have been traditionally sung in Canada for many years and will help to create a spirit of mirth in no time. It opens with the joyous strains of “Il Est Né Le Divin Enfant (He is Born, The Divine Child)” and continues with the plaintive and modal “Noël Nouvelet (Sing We Now of Christmas).” “The Huron Carol (‘Twas In the Moon of Wintertime)” is then presented with remnants of “Noël Nouvelet” cleverly woven in. The dramatic conclusion develops brief dialogue between “Good King Wenceslas” and “Il Est Né Le Divin Enfant” that brings the work to an exuberant and powerful close. Juxtaposing the lyrical and expressive with the joyous and cheerful in this masterful arrangement will add a little touch of Canada to your next holiday concert.
