From the end of the 16th century (1531-1601) this old cantiques de Noël. Allons gay bergères by Guillaume Costeley
The pronunciation is old French so it can be a bit difficult to catch unless French is your mother tongue. Though is remains beautiful by its simplicity and the beauty of its harmony at a time when Noël was still full of that ancient meaning lost to us today.

is old french like 'middle english'? I hear tell there are two old french - one in the north (normandy) and another in the south. Castille vs. chateau for example.
