DURIGG MUSIC ID FOR THIS PIECE: CDB-004 GRADE LEVEL: EMERGING BAND SERIES (Grade 1) OTHER ASSOCIATED SERIES: LIMITED OR FULL BAND SERIES FIND OUT ABOUT THE “LIMITED OR FULL” BAND SERIES FROM C.DURIGG MUSIC PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:While based on a French tune, Huron Carol was rewritten in 1642 by Jean de Brébeuf, a French Jesuit missionary living near modern-day Midland, Ontario. De Brébeuf wrote the carol for the Huron/Wendat (Wyandot) people in their native Huron language. Huron Carol has left a legacy as Canada’s “First Christmas Carol,” and is still widely performed in Canada today. Huron Carol is written in the Medieval Dorian mode (scale). While sounding “mostly minor,” the Dorion mode has its own unique sound. Although this song could be performed in the natural minor scale, it would lose the characteristic color of the “major sixth tone” in the Dorian scale. In addition to the Dorian scale, this arrangement uses multiple other compositional elements connected with Huron Carol’s Medieval origins (will be updated once the piece is published). |
