In dulci jubilo by Hans Leo Hassler — Lyrics
1.
In dulci jubilo,
Nun singet und seid froh!
Unsers Herzens Wonne liegt
in praesepio,
Und leuchtet als die Sonne
Matris in gremio,
Alpha es et O!
2.
O Jesu parvule
Nach dir ist mir so weh!
Tröst' mir mein Gemüte
O puer optime
Durch alle deine Güte
O princeps gloriae.
Trahe me post te!

About In dulci jubilo
This joyful setting of the famous Christmas carol In dulci jubilo is ideal for festive occasions. Hans Leo Hassler's four-part arrangement alternates between the familiar Latin verses and a German translation, creating a rich dialogue between the languages. The music beautifully captures the text's theme of sweet rejoicing and the wonder of the Nativity, with the SATB voicing providing a full and resonant sound. The composer's skill in weaving together the familiar melody with contrapuntal lines makes this a compelling choice for choirs looking to present a traditional yet musically engaging Christmas piece.
