Barry Taylor Lyr Add: Huron Carol (34) RE: Lyr Add: Huron Carol 15 Nov 99

Here is the story of the author of lyrics The Huron Carol... Father Jean de Brebeuf (1593 - 1649). I understand that the melody was a French tune that he adapted so that he could share his message with the Huron people. This song is a musical legacy that is probably the oldest "Canadian" tune on record, predating the birth of the country itself by about 230 years.

I have a midi with French and English lyrics here.
