| This evocative setting of the well known French noel by the 20th century Dutch composer, Willem Pijper, truly captures the sense of mystery and peace that must have been present at the nativity of our Lord. | |

Story Behind the Song
This is an English translation of the French text:
Between the ox and the grey donkey
Sleeps the little child.
A thousand divine angels,
A thousand seraphim
Hover around
The God of love.
Between Mary's two breasts
Sleeps the fruit of life.
A thousand seraphim....
Between the roses and the lilies
Sleeps the little boy.
A thousand seraphim....
Lyrics
Entre le boeuf et l'ane gris
Dort, dort, dort le petit fils;
Mille anges divins,
Mille seraphins,
Volent a l'entour
De ce Dieu d'amour.
Entre les deux bras de Marie
Dort, dort, dort le fruit de vie;
Mille anges....
Entre les roses et les lys
Dort, dort, dort le petit fils;
Mille seraphins....
