- The Huron Carol
mp3 recording for recorders (S)AATTB and harp -
with Lilypond source file
Composer's comments:
The "Huron Carol" (or "'Twas in the Moon of
Wintertime") is a Canadian Christmas hymn (Canada's oldest
Christmas song), written in 1643 by Jean de Brébeuf, a Jesuit
missionary at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons in Canada. Brébeuf
wrote the lyrics in the native language of the Huron/Wendat
people; the song's original Huron title is "Jesous Ahatonhia"
("Jesus, he is born"). The song's melody is a traditional French
folk song, "Une Jeune Pucelle" ("A Young Maid").

- Autumn's Allemande for C-recorder(s) and keyboard instrument

does her steps in silence.

- The Queen's Minuet for treble recorder and keyboard instrument

shoes.

Treble recorder
- Guarding the Cannon for treble- and tenor recorders
and ostinato bass
(*)The guards at the gate can barely hear the
festivities from the castle. But it's no hardship staying on their

comes to bring them food and ale, and perhaps a quick smooch.
Score -
mp3 recording
- The Last Pavane for C recorders and keyboard instrument
(*)The Last Pavane of the evening goes round and
round. It is tradition that, at the end of a variation, the couple
closest to the door is politely escorted out. Of course it wouldn't do
to have that happen to the king and queen, so the musicians know to
sneak in an extra variation when needed.
Score - mp3 recording - part for
C recorders
- The Visitor from Afar For Pentatonic Instrument and Two Bass Recorders

- The Cook's Estampie for Treble recorder and Keyboard instrument
(*)Antone the cook shakes his spice cans to the

Score - mp3 recording - part for
Treble recorder
