ainte Nuit is a traditional French Christmas carol, which was performed by the Alumnae Chorus School of the Sacred Heart. The carol describes the silent night of the birth of Jesus, as Mother Mary at the Holy face of his son, our Savior. Ah! Quel grand mystere! is another traditional French Christmas carol of the 19th century, which describes Jesus as the Messiah and the King of the universe. The sprightly lyrics reflect the jubilation and the joy which Mary and Joseph might have experienced holding the baby in their arms. There are several of the French Christmas carols, which have been translated into English. Les Anges dans nos campagnes is one such song, the
English version of which reads as Angels We Have Heard On High. Aujourd'hui le Roi des Cieux is, however, the French translation of the famous English carol, the First Noel and they use the same tune to sing the carol in French. Bel Astre que j'adore and Au Royaume du bonhomme hiver are some of the other traditional and popular French Christmas carols.
