Ajoutée par kheidtmann, 16 Nov 2021 First version: ABRSM Grade 1 (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) "Quempas" is the shortened title of the Latin Christmas carol "Quem pastores laudavere" ("He whom the shepherds praised"), popular in Germany in the sixteenth century. The earliest sources of the carol are from the fifteenth century, including the Hohenfurth Monastery Ms. 28 (1410). Many versions exist from the sixteenth century. The most famous version is from Michael Praetorius, Musae Sioniae (1607), with the German text "Den die Hirten lobeten sehre." Often the song is sung line by line, alternating between groups of singers who were set up in all four corners of the church. |
