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 this week.
