In his
Christmas motet Hodie
Christus natus est Schutz
employs the full mastery
of his madrigalian
musical language and
exploits all the sonorous
richness which the six
part scoring offers him.
The choral groups
alternate in singing the
greeting of peace pax to
each other, the alleluia
scales continue playfully
and with sophistication,
continually crossing. A
work which is well-suited
to church and chamber
choirs, and will be a joy
to sing at Christmas
time.Separate
edition taken from Vol.
19 of the Stuttgart
Schutz Edition (Complete
Edition Carus
