Noël Nouvelet – A French Christmas carol

Noel Nouvelet - Undreamed - Fantasy Folk Band

The tune of “Noël Nouvelet” dates back to the 16th century and the first notes evoke the gregorian chant “Ave Maris Stella”. The tune is widely known as a Christmas carol, mainly sung in French, but there are also English versions of it (e.g. Christmas comes anew, Nowell sing nowell).

We were enchanted by the ancient melody at once and decided some time ago to make our own version of it. Together with our former violinist and singer Elisabeth we recorded a first version of the song and released it on the EP “White Lands”, which is no longer available. So we decided to get back for the song, polish it up and rerelease it together with a video.

Enjoy the romantic scenery of the winterforest paired with the elegance of ice-skating in this new video!
