The Huron Carol is a Native American carol originally written in the language of the Huron people of Canada. You may recognize this song from our Season of Lights holiday album; but for this video, we’ve included a little surprise! Here, we modified the lead flute line and added a harmonizing second flute line to enhance our original take on this classic carol. We hope you enjoy it!
