Rooted in the sacred stillness of a French village on Christmas Eve, this suite by Martin Cordner draws upon traditional carols that have echoed through centuries of candlelit chapels and midnight vigils.

Each movement offers a window into the Nativity story:

I. Mystery: Noël Nouvelet (Christmas Comes Anew) opens with modal wonder, evoking the anticipation of Christ’s coming and the quiet awe of Advent.

II. Cradle: Entre le boeuf et l’âne gris (Between the Ox and the Grey Donkey) rests in pastoral tenderness, where the newborn Savior lies between humble beasts, watched over by angels and the Virgin.

III. Joy: Il est né, le divin enfant (He is born, the Divine Infant) bursts forth in celebration, proclaiming the divine birth with rustic dance and jubilant praise. Together, these carols form a musical triptych - moving from mystery to intimacy to exultation. Three Carols at Midnight invites listeners to step into the hush of a French Noël, where the sacred story is told not only in word, but in melody, memory, and light.
