In dulci jubilo
In dulci jubilo, a festive and splendid Venetian-style double-choir motet with two florid trumpet parts, comes from the composer’s first published collection, the Cantiones Sacrae Octo Vocum of 1620.
LYRICS:
In dulci jubilo
Nun singet und seid froh!
Unsers Herzen Wonne
Leit in praesepio,
Und leuchtet als die Sonne
Matris in gremio.
Alpha es et O!
(In sweet jubilation now sing and rejoice! Our heart’s bliss lies in the manger, and shines
like the sun in his mother’s lap. You are Alpha and Omega!)
Samuel Scheidt (1587–1654)
Words and melody: 14th-century German
The Cambridge Singers Christmas Album
John Rutter selects some of his favourite Christmas carols, old and new, from classic Cambridge Singers recordings, including several of his own arrangements, closing with Vaughan Williams' majestic 'Fantasia on Christmas Carols'.
John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
