Noëls Anciens: French Christmas 12th-18th centuries
Soothing Advent chant from Notre Dame, uplifting instrumental music of Boismortier; and familiar Noëls evoking France’s Celtic roots and the French musical life in 17th century Canada. Melos choir and period instruments finish in the high French Baroque with Charpentier’s stunning Messe de Minuit.
