Sandra Milliken #2335405. Published by Sandra Milliken (A0.774716). 2016 Choral Contest EntryThe words for NoĆ«l nouvelet first appeared around the time of Columbusā 1492 voyage to the Americas. The word nouvelet doesnāt exist any more, but it is related to the modern French word nouvel meaning new. So the title proclaims a new Christmas song in honour of the newborn King. This rhythmically buoyant a cappella arrangement for male choir captures the exuberance of the Christmas spirit, proclaiming the good news of the birth of the newborn King. An introductory Noel section is skilfully used as interlude and modulatory material, with the contrasting textures and harmonic colours bringing a new flavour to this traditional 15th century seasonal favourite. It may be sung in either the original French or English. .
