About Hodie Christus natus est
Wincenty Gorzelniaski's Hodie Christus natus est is a vibrant setting of a classic Latin text. As a Magnificat antiphon, the text joyfully announces the birth of Christ and the appearance of the Saviour. The composer captures this exultant message, with the choir singing the angelic proclamation and the jubilant cries of the righteous. This SATB setting is a powerful and uplifting anthem, ideal for the Christmas season or any occasion celebrating the Incarnation. The Latin text, full of ancient liturgical resonance, is brought to life with clear, declamatory lines that build to a triumphant conclusion.
