About this arrangement

Mixed choir SKU: FG.55011-356-5 Composed by Matthew (sov) Whittall. Score. Fennica Gehrman #55011-356-5. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55011-356-5). ISBN 9790550113565.Huron Carol ('Twas the Moon of Wintertime) is perhaps the oldest Canadian song. It was written ca. 1642 by Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit missionary 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.
