Venès lèu vèire la piéucello:
Rendition by a Provençal choir - the 2nd verse is missing. Same choir.
Another one "Performed as part of Carols for Quire 4, Dec. 21-23, 2012, Trinity Cathedral, Cleveland." -if you ever plan to sing it, don't rely on their pronuncation, they don't know that "òu" is not pronounced "oo" (French "ou" -that's why!) but somewhat like in "snow" in Southern American English.
Here you have a sheet music and the original Provençal lyrics -the very same I posted. If you click on "Retour à la tiero di Nouvè" (Back to the list of carols) at the bottom of the page you'll find 23 carols by Sabòli and some more among which are three carols from Notre-Dame des Doms of Avignon that I posted on the Mudcat Provençal Carols thread.
If you check on YouTube, there are two recordings "arranged by Henri Tomasi" that are titled as "Venès lèu vèire la piéucello" but they're actually "Turo luro luro" (I transcribed the lyrics in the classical norm of Occitan on MLW)".
