God's Growing Garden: European Christmas Music #1

European Christmas Music - FRANCE

There won't be much travel this Christmas season due to the Pandemic, so I thought it would be fun to bring the sounds of Christmas in Europe into our homes.

We will be visiting 7 European areas during this musical trip (click the following titles to visit):

France

Ireland

Germany

Italy

United Kingdom

Sweden

Spain

Also, after the featured songs, I will share some of my recipes that coincide with that area.

Please enjoy the following french Christmas songs!

Il est né, le divin Enfant

(He is born, the Divine Child)

Un flambeau, Jeanette, Isabelle

(Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella)

This is a traditional French carol from the "Provence" region in France written during the 16th century. This is the first verse translated to English:

Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring a torch, come swiftly and run.
Christ is born, tell the folk of the village,
Jesus is sleeping in His cradle,
Ah, ah, beautiful is the mother,
Ah, ah, beautiful is her Son.
