Loreena has released a single of the oldest-known Canadian Christmas hymn, “Huron Carol”. It’s the first time she has ever recorded the song, written in 1642 by a Jesuit missionary living among the Huron people. Also known as “Twas in the Moon of Wintertime”, the original lyrics were in the native Huron-Wendat Indigenous language. The single will be available for download on all streaming platforms and will also be offered as sheet music from the Loreena McKennitt Shop, powered by Shopify.
