With these editings of traditional Christmas melodies for a small set of instruments- solo instrument (recorder, travers flute, violin, oboe) and general bass-Delalande comes as succession of Marc Antoine Charpentier, who also made editings by Noels to parts of his "Messe de miniut". In contrast Delalande expanded some of his editings with autonomous introductions- called Symphonies or Ritournelles. Therefor this collection of appealing, short and festive mucis is a welcome diversion to the "ususal" Christmas-playing.
Order of movements: Laissez paitres vos bêtes - Elle alloit au temple -A la venue de Noël - Noël cette journée - Or nous dites Marie
