In der Weihnachtszeit by Sigismund Ritter von Neukomm — Lyrics
Glorie sei Gott in der strahlenden Höhe,
Freude den Menschen auf Erden und Fried!
Es ist verschwunden all Kummer und Wehe,
also erschallet der himmlischen Lied.
Jesus der Heiland der Welt ist gekommen,
teilet ihr Sünder den Jubel der Frommen.
Preis und Anbetung, Dir in unsrer Mitte,

About In der Weihnachtszeit
This charming German carol for two-part women's voices, In der Weihnachtszeit, opens with a bright and joyful musical setting of its text, which proclaims the birth of Jesus. The soaring vocal lines evoke the heavenly announcement of "Glory to God in the highest" and the peace and joy that the arrival of the Saviour brings to earth. The music reflects the exultation of the text, moving from declarations of God's presence to expressions of praise and thanks. The piece is a fine example of a traditional Christmas hymn, suitable for a wide range of choirs looking for accessible yet uplifting repertoire for the festive season.
