Overview
Un conte musical de Noël qui invite les enfants à voyager dans le temps au Québec d’antan.
La veille de Noël, un vieux loup maussade et solitaire est attiré par les lumières qui brillent dans l’église d’un village. Affamé, le loup se précipite. Il veut manger l’enfant couché dans la crèche! Heureusement, le curé est là… Ce conte du terroir à lire au coin du feu est accompagné de reels et de valses inspirés du répertoire folklorique québécois. Sortez vos violons! Le conte est suivi d’un réveillon musical comme dans le bon vieux temps qui fera hurler et danser tous les petits loups.
Le disque comprend la narration du conte et 12 chansons.
A delightful French-Canadian Christmas story, told with warmth and perception, that features an old wolf, driven by hunger, that had once terrorized the countryside, who takes refuge in a village church on Christmas Eve. The accompanying CD includes a narration of the story and a dozen traditional French-Canadian party songs.
