Item Number: A0.891209 With plenty of unison, conservative vocal range and tessitura, and guarded homorhythmic and polyphonic divisions, this piece would be great for either beginning men's choir or for the tenors and bass of your mixed choir to distinguish themselves on your Christmas concert or for a men's Advent or Christmas anthem.

"Personent Hodie" is a Christmas carol originally published in the 1582 Finnish song book Piae Cantiones, a volume of 74 Medieval songs with Latin texts. Arranged for unison voices and orchestra in 1916 by Gustav Holst (1874?1934), it is often used as a processional hymn in church and cathedral services. The text is translated by "James M. Joseph," a pseudonym of the composer Jane M. Joseph (1894?1929).
