‘The Huron Carol’ is one of the most unusual, and the most beautiful, carols around. It was written in 1642 in Huron/Wendat, an indigenous Canadian language, by Jean de Brébeuf, a French Jesuit missionary who was working to convert the Huron to Christianity. The piece is an example of syncretism - the conscious mixing of cultures, a tactic which many missionaries used around the world in order to accommodate native practices and languages into Christian worship. It is performed here in Huron, French, and English by Heather Dale.
