Aro Que Nostre Seigne Es Nat (Now That Our Lord is Born)
This traditional Christmas song from Provence is a true carol -- a word that came into English from the French carole, meaning a piece sung while dancing. With its strong rhythmic pulse, this lively carol may be performed by any combination of two-part voices and wind instruments. Contains original Provencal text with pronunciation guide. Recorded on Sing We Now of Christmas, Revels Records #1091.
