courtesy of the artist

The Huron Carol (aka Twas in the Moon of Wintertime) is a 17th century Christmas Carol written by Christian missionary Jean de Brébeuf. He lived among the Huron people in Canada, with lyrics in the Huron/Wendat language with the title Jesous Ahatonhia. Today's Beautiful Music features Heather Dale singing The Huron Carol in three languages: Wendat (Huron), French, and English.

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music which she originated on WSHU in 1987.
