The Huron Carol - Eleanor Daley - The Choirs of Pembroke College/Anna Lapwood
Another choral moment for your Thursday afternoon... Eleanor Daley's setting of The Huron Carol is a new addition to our repertoire, and has proven to be an instant hit with our singers and congregations. The carol itself is Canada’s oldest Christmas song, thought to have been written in 1642 by Jean de Brebeuf. The original song was written in the native language of the Huron People, with the title ‘Jesus Ahatonhia’ (‘Jesus, he is born‘), and the melody is based on that of a traditional French folk song. I adore the way Daley writes for upper voices and we really hear that coming out in this arrangement!

Anna has so much passion and love for all she does! I just adore watching her!
I know this carol well. Being Canadian I learned it as a little girl and have performed it off and on in choirs all my life. I’ve even done a couple of arrangements. I’ve never heard it done so beautifully. Thank you. ❤🇨🇦
Beautiful harmonies !
I have lost count of how many times I have watched this particular; it is that beautiful!
I don't know what to say. This is pure joy. Most beautiful. Thank you very much.
Beautifully done!
Thank you Choristers for your fine work and dedication.
Anna! This is so wonderfully and sensitively done! 👌 Thanks for also featuring Canadian music and our earliest carol! 😍🇨🇦

Anna is a multi-talented woman .

have u seen her at RA Hall in London?
Magic!
A beautiful, haunting carol, for sure. One of my faves. But so fun, to watch the eyes of your sopranos and altos. Anna, they worship you. They want to be SO like you. You are just a few years their senior, and YOU are their inspiration. Thank you, for giving them that excitement. And taking on the responsibility, of leading these young souls
You just brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
Really captivating, great arrangement, and beautifully, very musically sung by fresh, young people - and behind that all is, of course, a very good choir-conductor. And still: very beautiful, inspiring place to sing with great, supporting acoustics, and a very good recording & sound quality! Christmas greetings from Finland 🎵 🎄
wow - just ‘wow’

Took the words right outta my mouth.
So beautifully sung, a wonderful song, I love it, also my three year old friend!
Excellent performance.
I have checked and this is the best version of the Huron Carol on KZread.
Nice to see Eleanor Daley's work performed; I sang for her in a church choir here in Toronto back in the 1980's and have sung her works in various other choirs. Great performance!
A good choirmaster and a good choir. Great ! But I was shocked at first. The leader looks like my math teacher 40 years ago. I knew even then that she would never die. Best wishes from Hamburg/Germany 😀
Oh God! I’d loooooooove to see you once, live in Poland 🥰😍🔥
This lady has such passion doing something she enjoys you have to admire her
That was absolutely heavenly beautiful !
Gorgeous setting. You're doing fantastic work with these singers. Thank you for this!
I totally agree with what you think of the way that Daley writes for upper voices. It gives the piece such a sweet quality.
Very professional and beautiful 🤩 Great voices
Such a beautiful piece and outstanding singing as always!
Wow!
Incredible
Beautiful... :)
Lovely! Thank you so much.
merry christmas!
This was written in Huron and French by Father Brébeuf in the 17 century. I've sing it in a three languages version.
Beautiful. (I'm also impressed at any singer who can get through 'ragged robe of rabbit skin' without giggling)

Sounds funny but I suppose that’s what Native babies might have actually worn 😊

Great woman
We have been singing that hymn since Burl Ives wrote it way back when... but I have never heard such a beautiful arrangement thank you.

I'm assuming you are kidding about who wrote it. It was written by a Jesuit priest in 1643 as a way to bring the story of the birth of Christ to the First Nations of Canada in a way that they would understand. If you were being sarcastic, then whoosh for me.
WUNDERVOLL Though this is not my kind of music - I can hear the passion and artful work from all of you thx
love it. But I'm not a streamer - can I buy a CD? (old fashioned gal!👵🏻)
Lovely! Well done. ..the only change I’d make is to have the women quieter on the second verse so the words from the men come through better. ..not a big deal since most people know the words anyway. Thanks for posting!
Where are the boy trebles?
