Quand Jésus naquit à Noël

Nisi

Does anyone have the French Christmas carol "Quand Jésus naquit à Noël"? Would love to do it with the Daquin variations, i.e., Noël X, for Christmas Eve. Thanks!

This is what I found for it: http://www.e-partitions.fr/partitions/Orgue/BALBASTRE_Claude/1ere_Suite_de_Noels/balbastre_suite1_noel6.pdf

Thank you! That one is so good too. I'm doing the Daquin on the same tune. What I'm looking for is the 4-part carol with English or French words. Here's the Daquin; it's No. X:

E. Power Biggs (and I think Robert Shaw) arranged it in English, titled "Noel We Sing".

Possibly as "Quand Dieu naquit a noel", as Spotify has it?
many thanks!

I have found this, which might help you: https://imslp.org/wiki/Recueil_de_Noëls_(Balbastre%2C_Claude-B%C3%A9nigne)

Many thanks for that link, Jehan. I have always thought that Balbastre's setting of this noel was far more gorgeous than d'Aquin's more often heard one.
