Vincent Novello's
arrangement of four
verses of the well-known
'Hymn for Christmas'
builds from soprano solo,
through duet for tenor
and bass and trio for
alto, tenor and bass
(with melody in the
middle part), to a full
SATB final verse. The
traditional English text
is given together with
the original Latin. Colin
Mawby has supplied a
fascinating preface
tracing the history of
the piece.

The
history of the
composition of the
oratorio is odd: the
kernel of this three-part
work were the movements
from the middle section,
the Flight to Egypt,
which Berlioz composed on
a whim in 1850 and which
he passed off as the work
of a baroque composer
whose existence he
himself had invented. In
1854 the triptych, which
was completed with the
parts entitled The dream
of Herodes and The
arrival at Sais, had its
celebrated first
performance. Starting
from the Gospel of St.
Matthew, with the visit
of the astrologer to
Herodes and the flight of
the Holy Family to Egypt,
Berlioz chose to relate
the story of the events
of Christmas from another
angle. This skillful
dramatisation, with
impressive instrumental
sections, such as the
independent trio for two
flutes and harp as well
as the effective choruses
with local color, make
this sacred trilogy a
grateful enrichment of
the repertoire for
Christmas music. Score

Mor
e than usual, in this
chorale cantata the hymn
is continuously present;
it appears as the cantus
firmus in four of the six
movements and gives the
work an overall unity. In
addition to the opening
chorus and in the closing
chorale, it appears in a
trio, a rare occurrence
in Bach's vocal works,
and even in a recitative.
The latter is performed
by recorders. The rich
scoring for winds -
besides the recorders it
also includes three oboes
- characterizes this
cantata, which is
performed after Christmas
and whose text refers
back to Christmas and
also points to the new
year. Score and parts
available separately -
see item CA.3112200.
