At the start of the 2024 ‘nouvelle année’ we offer our recording of Sofia Söderberg's stunning arrangement of ‘Noȅl nouvelet’ as a renewed plea for peace in Bethlehem and our world.
The evening of our recording coincided with unprecedented public order incidents in Dublin; about a third of our singers had to abandon their attempts to reach us.
Thank you to all at St Mary's Haddington Road for allowing us to record in their natural acoustic. We were privileged to be cocooned in beautiful music on the night. When we left the church it was to a very different Dublin than when we’d entered.
Noël nouvelet, Noël chantons ici. Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
Dévotes gens‚ crions à Dieu merci! Glory to God! Now let your praises swell!
Chantons Noël pour le roi nouvelet, Sing we Noel for Christ, the newborn King,
Noël nouvelet, Noël chantons ici. Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
L’ange disait: “Pasteurs, partez d’ici, Angels did say, “O shepherds come and see,
L’ame en repos et le coeur réjoui: Born in Bethlehem, a blessed Lamb for thee.”
En Bethléem trouverez l’agnelet.” Sing we Noel for Christ, the newborn King,
Noël nouvelet, Noël chantons ici. Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
En Bethléem, étant tous réunis In the manger bed, the shepherds found the child;
Trouvent l’enfant, Joseph, Marie aussi, Joseph was there, and the Mother Mary mild.
La crèche était au lieu d’un bercelet. Sing we Noel for Christ, the newborn King,
Noël nouvelet, Noël chantons ici. Christmas comes anew, O let us sing Noel!
