Gabriel Og Maria af John Høybye. Juleoratorium for lige stemmer (SSA) recitator soli fløjte orgel klaver og bas (trommer/percussion ad lib.). Tekster af Britt G. Hallqvist. Programnote: I 1985 udkom Gabriel og Maria - 7 sange til jul for kor og rytmegruppe.Det var nyt på den tid at skrive kormusik - oven i købet til kirkelige tekster - der skulle akkompagneres af jazz/rock-musikere og hvor korsangerne skulle udfolde sig i stilarter som bossa samba og jazzvals. Men sangene blev hurtigt populære og allerede i deførste år efter udgivelsen blev de en fast del af mange kors julerepertoire både herhjemme og i Skandinavien (i en svensk-sproget udgave) - ja helt til USA kom de (i en engelsk-sproget udgave).Tæt på 25 års jubilæet er det nu tid til en revideret ny-udgivelse.Selve sangene er der ikke lavet om på - men storformen er ændret således at værket nu fremstår som et lille juleoratorium med recitationer og orgel-mellemspil. En enkel ny sats er kommet til: Lovsangen Stjerner og vinde og skyer og de instrumentale mellemspil (soli for fløjte/sax piano eller bas) er udbygget på forskellig måde. Normalt er det instrumenterne der akkompagnerer koret. Men i de instrumentale mellemspil er rollerne byttet om. Nu er det koret der med riffs scatsang og forskellige akkordbaserede figurer 'akkompagnerer' de improviserende solister.Fløjten vil - med passende oktaveringer - kunne erstattes af saxofon (sopran og/eller alt). Det forudsætter dog at saxofonisten er i stand til - også - at spille med smuk 'klassisk' klang. Recitationsteksterne er taget fra Cecil Bødkers bog: Marias barn (Gyldendal).Orgelsatserne fungerer som stemningsgivende ledsagelse til recitationen og bortset fra nr. 17 spiller

The six choral works don't form a cycle since the texts are associated with different liturgies. The choruses: Regina caeli ' antiphon for Easter Sub tuum praesidium ' antiphon Maria Mater gratiae ' short hymn Ave Regina caelorum 'antiphon for Lent Ave maris stella ' Hymn to Mary Virgo parens Christi benedicta ' responsorium can be sung singly or in any combination.
