Conceived as a dialogue between old and new, and associated with the Christmas season, this work is suitable for year-round performance. The light and buoyant treatment of the familiar melody grows and subsides in musical swells, providing unmistakable forward motion. Counterlines envelope the main tune, dancing and growing as all voices blend together for a resounding finish. The use of pizzicato syncopation adds a fresh approach to this ancient tune.

First critical edition. The oratorio Judas Maccabaeus is one of George Frideric Handel's most popular choral works. It was performed over fifty times during the composer's lifetime and was one of his first works to be performed in Germany (1772). The frequent performances given by Handel himself resulted in a particularly large number of reworkings, reflecting local conditions. This new edition therefore offers the work in two performable versions: firstly, the version of the first performance in 1747, and the one from the last oratorio season during Handel's lifetime (1758/59). This makes available all the choruses and arias which Handel ever wrote for Judas Maccabaeus. Reflecting the latest Handel research, the edition is based for the first time throughout on Handel's conductor's score, thereby eradicating not only long-perpetuated mistakes, but also providing clarity about which pieces were actually performed by Handel. By contrast with the Chrysander edition obligatory until now, the aria Father of heav'n which introduces Part III is included here in its original, longer version.

Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich. Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Jacob De Haan. Christmas Collection. Festive and Solemn Music. Score Only. Composed 1984. De Haske Publications #DHP 0840020-216. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0840020-216).

The Latin word Introitus means â??entryâ??. Originally, this was a psalm sung to accompany the entrance of a bishop, priest or celebrant into the church. Later it was incorporated into the mass with alternating sung and spoken text, reflecting the mood of the liturgy. Jacob de Haanâ??s Introitus, in which he has arranged the hymns Puer natus est nobis and Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich, is a wonderful introduction to the Christmas season and can be performed with any instrumental combination with mixed choir and organ ad libitum.

Het Latijnse woord â??Introitusâ?? betekent binnentreden. Oorspronkelijk was de Introitus een gezongen psalm, die het binnentreden van een bisschop of priester in de kerk begeleidde. Later werd de Introitus een onderdeel van de mis, metafwisselend gezongen of gesproken tekst, passend bij de liturgie. Jacob de haan verwerkte in zijn Introitus de liederen Puer natus est nobis en Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich. Introitus is uw ideale voorbereidingop het kerstfeest en kan in elke instrumentencombinatie met gemengd koor en orgel ad libitum worden uitgevoerd.

Das lateinische Wort Introitus bedeutet Einzug. Urspru?nglich war der Introitus ein gesungener Psalm, der den Einzug eines Bischofs, Priesters oder Zelebranten in die Kirche begleitete. Später wurde der Introitus Teil der Messe mit wechselndem gesungenen oder gesprochenen Text, der auf den Inhalt der Liturgie einstimmen sollte. Jacob de Haans Introitus, in dem er die Lieder und Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich verarbeitete, ist eine wunderbare Einstimmung auf das Fest und kann in jeder Instrumentenkombination mit gemischtem Chor und Orgel ad libitum aufgefu?hrt werden.

Le mot latin Introitus signifie introduction. A lâ??origine, il sâ??agissait dâ??un psaume chanté, marquant lâ??entrée dans lâ??église dâ??un évêque, dâ??un prêtre ou du célébrant. Plus tard, lâ??introitus, chanté ou parlé, sâ??est adapté en fonction du contenu liturgique (Temps de Noël ou de lâ??Avent, Messe de P ques...). Jacob de Haan sâ??est inspiré de Puer natus est nobis et de Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich pour son Introitus de Temps de Noël. Une merveilleuse introduction la fête de Noël, qui pourra être interprétée par toutes les formations instrumentales, avec choeur mixte (texte en néerlandais et orgue ad lib.

La parola latina introitus significa introduzione. Originariamente si trattava di un salmo cantato che coincideva con lâ??ingresso in chiesa di un vescovo o di un prete. In seguito, cantato o parlato, si è adattato al contenuto liturgico (Avvento o Natale, Messa di Pasqua, ecc.). Per il suo Introitus di Natale, Jacob de Haan si è ispirato a Puer natus est nobis e Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich. Una meravigliosa introduzione alla Festa del Natale che può essere interpretata da ogni organico strumentale, con coro misto (testo in olandese) e organo opzionali.
