An unusual a cappella carol selection has been created which takes the listener from the time of the Reformation up into the 20th century with cantilenas and compositions by, amongst others, Michael Praetorius, Peter Cornelius, Johannes Brahms, Heinrich Kaminski and Alban Berg.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe old hymn 'Es ist ein Ros entsprungen' runs as the main thread throughout the selection; it is heard in no fewer than three different versions. In terms of the content, it's the link between pieces which relate to biblical history, and those which bring the events of Christmas into closer focus in images from nature, in visions or in legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe works by Michael Praetorius provide the framework and structure for the concept. With the nine volumes of his 'Musae Sioniae' ('The Muses of Zion') in particular, Praetorius created a compendium of Protestant church music which, due to its variety and aspirations, set the trend for many years. In the 20th century it was adapted as a model by the movement for the reform of church music.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: NDR Choir, Philipp Ahmann (conductor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Praetorius: Musae Sioniae Teil II: In Dulci Jubilo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugo Distler: Weihnachtsgeschichte, Op. 10: Es Ist Ein Ros Entsprungen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeinrich Kaminski: Drei Weihnachtliche Liedsaetze, Maria Durch Ein Dornwald Ging\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLasst Uns Das Kindelein Wiegen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoseph, Lieber Joseph Mein\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugo Distler: Neues Chorliederbuch, Op. 16: Ich Brach Drei Duerre Reiselein\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugo Distler: Geistliche Chormusik, Op. 12,4: Singet Frisch Und Wohlgemut\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Praetorius: Musae Sioniae Teil IV: Nun Komm Der Heiden Heiland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Praetorius: Musae Sioniae Teil IV: Wachet Auf, Ruft Uns Die Stimme\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Cornelius\/Clytus Gottwald: Drei Weihnachtslieder, Op. 8, 2-4, Die Hirten\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie Koenige\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimeon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Praetorius: Musae Sioniae Teil VI: Es Ist Ein Ros Entsprungen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohannes Brahms: O Heiland, Reiss Die Himmel Auf, Op. 74, 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlban Berg: Es Ist Ein Reis Entsprungen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Praetorius: Musae Sioniae Teil VI: Wie Schoen Leuchtet Der Morgenstern\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55175768244609,"sku":"549131","price":17.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51I7GTXzkHL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768163255","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/549131","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
