Noëls with great choir: unknown toulousan music heritage (xvia-xix centuries)

Abstract

The repertoire of Christmas carols sung by large choirs grew in Toulouse and in the south west of France from the end of the 18th to the middle of the 19th century. These hymns, composed by local choirmasters in French (or Occitan) were sung by soloists, a choir, and an orchestra. The music of the 165 hymns which exist today is often missing but the books are evidence of the vitality of this practice in the musical and religious life of the era, which was then largely dominated by Latin.
