Program Notes:
This suite of three movements features popular French Christmas songs. “Il Est Né” (“He Is Born”) tells the story of the Heavenly child being born in a stable. “Patapan,” an older carol, published in 1720, speaks of the shepherds bringing their flutes and drums with them to celebrate the birth of the Savior. The final majestic tune, “March of the Three Kings” (or “Farandole” from Bizet’s L’Arlésienne) paints the picture of the Magi completing the manger scene.
