A GERMAN CHRISTMAS – 17th Century Music for

the Time of Advent and Christmas

 Download MP3

The pieces on this album originate largely from the Christmette by Michael
Praetorius. In addition, nativity hymns by a range of different composers from the
same era have been compiled. In Lutheran style, the compositions on this album
include solo-pieces, choir arrangements, double-choral motets, instrumental pieces
and of course the church organ repertoire. The listener can also hear pieces, which
were not necessarily meant for Christmas, but fit the program very well. The
function of some of the pieces is liturgical, like Gloria, Our Father or the mighty
Entrance-Prelude. Two other pieces are meditative moments about the name of
Jesus.

'There is some very impressive singing and playing by the Margaretha Consort.
Worthy of special note is the spectacularly florid cornetto playing by Josue
Melendez Pelaez. A few of the items are new arrangements by members of the
ensemble. Some of the chorales verses are sung here congregationally.' –
