Hodie Christus Natus Est by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621) is an extremely popular Renaissance a cappella choral work that has been transcribed for string orchestra. Although the work is usually associated with the Christmas season, it is a timeless piece that can be programmed at any time during the school year. The string parts mirror the voice parts, but are in the more comfortable key of G major, rather than the original B≤ major. String teachers may want to consult with their choral counterparts to determine if combining their groups might provide a unique experience for all of their students.All the string parts remain in first position. The work contains the less common alternating meters of ëand ò, and will provide students with insight into the unique rhythmic style of the Renaissance period. A piano part is included for rehearsal purposes.Performance suggestions: By listening to a recording of the original vocal performance and focusing on the lyrics, students will understand where to use a connected legato bowing style for running eighth-note passages and for the longer note durations, as expressed in the lyric “Ho-di-e, Ho-di-e” that alternates with a light detached style “No-e, No –e, No-e.” A most recent YouTube link is suggested here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B 2rAkZE5UU0.

Palestrinas doppelchorige Motette ,,Hodie Christus natus est steht im ,,Liber tertius motettorum, dem dritten Motettenbuch, das erstmals 1575 in Rom gedruckt wurde und spater mehrere Neuauflagen erlebte. Diese Motette bildet auch das Modell zur gleichnamigen Messe des Meisters, die allerdings erst nach seinem Tode im Jahre 1601 im Druck veroffentlicht wurde (Dreizehntes Messenbuch).Als Textvorlage diente die Magnificat-Antiphon der zweiten Vesper vom Weihnachtstag; statt des ,,Alleluja hat Palestrina den alten Weihnachtsruf ,,Noe in jubelndem Dreiertakt an den Schluss gestellt, mit dem er schon im Verlauf der Komposition in konzertierendem Wechsel die einzelnen ,,Hodie-Einsatze gegeneinander absetzte.Bereits vor mehreren Jahrzehnten war die vorliegende Motette in einer Bearbeitung des verdienten Wilhelm Widmann im Verlag Breitkopf & Hartel veroffentlicht worden. Unsere Ausgabe geht auf das Original von 1575 zuruck. Eine Transposition war fur die heutige Chorpraxis unumganglich; die Notenwerte wurden auf die Halfte, im Dreiertakt auf ein Viertel gekurzt. Man achte bei der Wiedergabe darauf, dass gerader und ungerader Taktablauf in einem strengen Zeitverhaltnis zueinander stehen.Moge diese Neuausgabe dazu beitragen, der strahlenden Weihnachtsmotette Palestrinas mit ihrem wirkungsvollen Klangkontrast zwischen hohem und tiefem Chor neue Freunde unter unseren Choren zu gewinnen.Ubersetzung des TextesHeute ist Christus geboren,heute uns der Erloser erschienen:heute singen die Engel auf Erden,es jauchzen die Erzengel,heute frohlocken die Gerechten und rufen:Ehre sei Gott in der Hohe.Noe, Noe.Rudolf Ewerhart, im Mai 1958, Munster (Westf.).

Artfully combining the old with the new - that is one of the hallmarks of Alwin M. Schronen. That this versatile balancing actor andbearer of numerous compositional prizes succeeds in mastering this artistic balancing act, he proves once again in his sacred choralcomposition Hodie Christus natus est. This Latin-speaking work for 8-part mixed choir a cappella (SSAATTBB) is based on the antiphonto the Magnificat of the Christmas Vespers. Schronen opens his Christmas song with the literal intonation of the traditional Gregorian melody. After this beginning, alternating between male and female voices, the composer lets the entire choir join in the jubilation of thanks for the birth of Jesus. He manages to lift the listener with his very own musical language in other heavenly realms. A wonderful, but at the same time vocally demanding piece of music, which is equally suitable for the use of church music asit is for concert use.
