Noël Nouvelet – A French Christmas carol
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!

New single: The butterfly
Enjoy our latest release: a rearranged version of the Irish traditional/Tommy Potts fiddle tune “The butterfly”! Originally the tune is a “slip jig”, a common Irish stepdance.
It has a gentle vibe and invites to a lighthearted dance. The guitar leads with the melody, while the alto-recorder accompanies it with a second line and later on in the song the harp comes in and brings even more “Irish” flavour to it. Not to forget the steady beating Djembe, the light Kajon-strokes and the crisp bells. Some merry vocals (“Damdidamdidai“) complement the song.
