About Hodie Christus natus est
This joyful motet, Hodie Christus natus est, is ideal for Christmas services. Its Latin text, celebrating the birth of Christ, proclaims the news with jubilant pronouncements from angels and archangels, the exultation of the righteous, and the glorious Gloria in excelsis Deo. The music is set for two choirs (SATB.SATB), creating a rich, antiphonal sound ideal for liturgical settings. The double choir arrangement allows for dynamic contrast and a grand, celebratory effect, perfectly capturing the wonder and exultation of the Nativity. This anonymous composition is a powerful and resounding declaration of the Christmas message.
