Claude Daquin - Noel VI - Sur Les Jeux D'Anches et en duo


Orgue St Pierre des Chartreux
Michel Bouvard

I don't know the noel this is based on, the title means Playing on The Reeds.  It obviously refers to the reed pipes of the organ, I don't know how it relates to Christmas.  Daquin's Noels are some of my favorite Christmas music.   I don't specifically remember hearing them played in churches here when I was young but it wouldn't surprise me if some of the organists might have played them as a prelude or postlude, most of them were Quebecois, in French parishes.
