The unusual thing about this sentimental four-voice Christmas motet is its character as a choral arrangement: In the middle section the base intones parts of the fourth verse of the song In dulci jubilo, while the three upper voices play around with the melody in small note-values and with this motet's characteristic syncopated rhythm in 3.
