When all the birds had fled

Let’s have one more from Canada for today’s Advent music. What we know as “The Huron Carol” was written by Jean de Brébeuf, a Jesuit missionary to the Huron/Wendat people, in 1642. Since its Wendat title translates as “Jesus, he is born”, it’s not, technically, an Advent carol. But since I am, technically, in Québec, I’m slotting it in here.

The version I’m giving you is sung by Heather Dale, a Canadian Celtic musician, in Wendat, French and English.
