Huron Carol ('Twas the Moon of Wintertime) is perhaps the oldest Canadian song. It was written ca. 1642 by Jean de Brébeuf, a Jesuitmissionary at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons. The original words were in Huron language, but Whittall uses the English translation from 1926. The song's melody is based on a traditional French folk song “Une Jeune Pucelle”. Whittall's arrangement is done for Audite choir in 2013. It is a skillful arrangement, bringing out the best qualities of the original melody. Huron Carol ('Twas the Moon of Wintertime) on mahdollisesti vanhin kanadalainen laulu. Sen sävelsi n. vuonna 1642 Jean de Brébeuf, jesuiittojen lähetyssaarnaaja Saint-Marien lähetysasemalla Huron-kansan parissa. Laulun alkuperäinen teksti oli Huron-kansan kielellä, mutta Whittall käyttää vuoden 1926 englanninkielistä käännöstä. Laulun melodia perustuu ranskalaiseen kansansävelmään “UneJeune Pucelle”. Whittallin sovitus on tehty Audite-kuorolle 2013, ja se tuo taitavasti esiin laulun kauneimmat piirteet.
