The Christmas carol “Twas in the Moon of Wintertime” is also known as the Huron Carol. It’s a 17th century Canadian Christmas song by a Jesuit missionary who lived among the Huron people. He wrote the lyrics in their native language, and set it to the tune of a traditional French folk song. The Huron Carol is a highlight on Sunday Baroque today, starting at 7 a.m. on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream, and at 10 a.m. on 89.9.
From WSHU's daytime and evening classical programs, Emily Boyer and Lauren Rico give you a heads-up on some of the best music they've selected.
