Description
Et chantons tous son avènement is inspired by "Il est né le divin enfant" by Gabriel Fauré. It is a song that carries the spirit of a festive Christmas hymn, blending traditional French lyricism with vibrant instrumental colors. The title itself — “Et chantons tous son avènement” (“And let us all sing of his advent”) — evokes celebration, unity, and reverence, making it a natural fit for Christmas holiday or ceremonial contexts. It can be sung by a soloist, or a group of singers, or also by children as a choir. The voice(s) part is accompanied by an organ, we well as an oboe and bag pipe, lending real richness to the song which refers in lyrics to “Jouez hautbois, résonnez musettes", literally "play the oboe, resound the bagpipe".
