Music I Like, #27, Le sommeil de l'enfant Jésus (Henri Büsser)

On the first day of Advent, here is my favourite piece of Christmas music. It is played ever year at end of Central Congregational Church's carol service, so I grew up hearing it played by a fabulous local cellist with the excellent name of Daniel Harp, who would later be one of my chamber music coaches when I was at university. In 2020, the church's carol service was recorded--you can hear it being played at the end of the video of the service (it starts at 53:41). There's something magical about the way it sounds in that space. 

For such a beautiful piece, this seems to be relatively difficult to find on Youtube. Here is another recording.
