The Native American (Huron) interpretation of Jesus birth where the stable becomes 'a lodge of broken bark', the swaddling clothes are 'a ragged robe of rabbit skin', and the shepherds abiding in their fields are transformed into hunter braves amid the woods, this beautiful text illuminates enchanting images of North American as a context for the Nativity described to the Huron by French missionaries. Halley arranges this text and the 16th century French carol 'Une jeaune pucelle' in a setting of austerity and simple reverence. Optional handbells further evoke the atmosphere of stark winter, with the bell tones ringing in the cold.
