Cascading bells played by choir members and the recurring phrase “Et in terra pax” between the verses of the familiar melody create a joyful seasonal showcase for treble voices. The final triumphant verse features a majestic descant and transitions into a sonorous conclusion on the final phrase, “good will to all.&rdquo.

The a cappella choral setting Der Tag, der ist so freudenreich for four-part women's choir written by the 1553-born composer Johannes Eccard from Muhlhausen in Thuringia is, indeed, a real pleasure. The German-language text is borrowed from an old Latin Christmas carol, singing of the miracle of Nativity in two verses. Eccard manages, in an engaging manner, to musically express the joyous atmosphere of this poem. All four female voices (SSAA) join imitatively in the angelic chant of joy one after the other, while central words like 'freudenreich' [joyful], 'Himmelreich' [kingdom of heaven], 'Jungfrau' [virgin] or 'Mutter' [mother] are particularly embellished. This is exhilarating and easy-to-perform utility music for Christmas church services.

The joyful traditional French carol, translated long ago into English as “Sing We Now of Christmas,†is set a cappella with simple optional percussion. The limited French along with the English text makes it a quick learn, and the percussive “rum pum-pum†is shared by all the voices, building to a buoyant “Noel†at the finale. An excellent and mature work for the holidays.
