Hans Leo
Hassler (1564-1612), son
of an organist, was born
in Nuremberg and received
his initial training in
music from his father. As
a young man he studied in
Venice and became close
friends with Giovanni
Gabrieli, both eventually
studying composition with
Giovanni's Uncle Andrea.
Hassler gained a
reputation as an
innovative composer and
also traveled throughout
Germany as a consultant
in the construction of
pipe organs.
Dr.
Palmer has transcribed
this exciting 3 minute
work for 6 part Trombone
ensemble. It will work
well for intermediate
performers.
Verbum
caro factum est is a
beautiful choral work
written in antiphonal
style. The text has been
taken by Hassler from the
first chapter of the St.
John Gospel and is
considered an ancient
carol of Christmas based
on the text.
And the
Word became flesh and
dwelt among us. (John
1:14)
And we have
beheld His glory, glory
as of the only Son from
the Father, full of grace
and truth. (John 1:14)
In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the
Word was God. (John 1:1)
And we have beheld
His glory, glory as of
the only Son from the
Father, full of grace and
truth. (John 1:14)
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son and to the
Holy Spirit.
And we
have beheld His glory,
glory as of the only Son
from the Father, full of
grace and truth. (John
1:14)
