Description/Remarks
This delightful French carol is set in a new
arrangement by Paul Halley. Commissioned by the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation for the 31st Annual CBC Christmas Sing-In in
Montreal, December 12, 2010, the arrangement was premiered by the Choir
of the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, Montreal, under the direction
of Jordan de Souza, with organist, Jonathan Oldengarm. This new setting
features choir and organ with brass (3 trumpets, 3 trombones) and snare
drum in a sprightly and joyful rendition of this Christmas favorite. The
choir, a cappella on the verses, plays with varying rhythms and tempos,
key modulations, and harmonies, while the brass lends a broad and
lyrical context to each refrain. Snare drum and cymbal lend
unexpected freshness and foundation to the piece. With congregational
participation invited on the refrain, this new arrangement will
become a favorite of your choirs, congregations, and audiences.

Text
Il Est Né
Le Divin Enfant
Words & Music: Traditional French
Arranged : Paul Halley
Refrain:
Il est né
le divin Enfant,
Jouez, hautbois, résonnez, musettes;
Il est né
le divin Enfant;
Chantons tous son avènement!
1. Depuis plus de
quatre mille ans,
Nous le promettaient les Prophètes;
Depuis plus de quatre mille ans,
Nous attendions cet heureux temps. Refrain:
2. Ah! qu'il est beau, qu'il est charmant,
Que ses grâces sont parfaites!
Ah! Qu'il est beau, qu'il est charmant,
Qu'il est doux le divin Enfant! Refrain:
3. Une étable est son logement,
Un peu de paille, sa couchette,
Une étable est son logement,
Pour un Dieu, quel abaissement!
Refrain:
4. O Jésus! O Roi tout puissant!
Tout petit enfant que vous êtes,
O Jésus! O Roi tout puissant!
Régnez sur nous entièrement!
