Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Lily Lanken, Martha Wainwright, Sloan Wainwright

Kate passed away on january 19th. This show was her last public performance. She was so lively, funny and strong that night, it's very hard to imagine that she's gone forever. Requiem in pace, dear Kate.

Traditional French Christmas Carol: 'Ça Bergère'.

Kate and Anna McGarrigle, their daughters Lily Lanken and Martha Wainwright, with aunt to the latter: Sloan Wainwright. (From left to right).

Song from the Christmas concert 'a not so silent night' in the Royal Albert Hall, London, 9th December 2009.


Ça bergers assemblons-nous,
allons voir le Messie
Cherchons cet enfant si doux
dans les bras de Marie
Allons voir, il nous appelle tous
ô sort digne d'envie

Laissons là tout le troupeau
qu'il erre à l'aventure
Que sans nous sur ce coteau
il cherche sa pâture
Allons voir dans un petit berceau
l'Auteur de la nature

Ça bergers assemblons-nous,
allons voir le Messie
Cherchons cet enfant si doux
dans les bras de Marie
Allons voir, il nous appelle tous
ô sort digne d'envie
