Noël

The reviewers say:
RPM Magazine
Perfect programming for the Christmas season. This is the real thing, traditional religious music of Christmas past. Includes Canada's first Christmas song, the famous Huron Christmas Carol with melody and lyrics by the Jesuit missionary Jean de Brebeuf. This is also the last complete recording of Elmer Iseler and is dedicated to his memory. Also of importance is that this album is "an authoritative collection," selected by the Canadian Musical Heritage Society. Featured with the world renowned Elmer Iseler Singers are tenor Michael Schade and mezzo-soprano Norine Burgess. Liner notes are in both English and French. Features organist Mireille Lagace and Ruth Watson Henderson on the piano, harmonium and organ. - Walt Grealis
