The 16th century Finnish carol Personent Hodie (On This Day Earth Shall Ring) has never sounded so thrilling. A new text of peace and hope, along with brilliant harmonic colors and rhythmic motifs that seize your soul, this extended work (6-7 minutes) is fantastic! The choral is published with a piano accompaniment that can carry the piece alone, however, three dynamic orchestrations from brass quintet, chamber orchestra to full orchestra are also available.

Personent Hodie is a medieval Christmas carol from the larger work Piae Cantiones—a published collection of songs intended for cathedral schools in 16th century Finland. The original tune uses modality and plainchant to evoke the mysterious character of Christmastide.This rhythmic setting of Personent Hodie expresses the tune in compound meter, resulting in a joyful energy. The optional hand drum and finger cymbals complement the melody with an exciting, dance-like pulse.“Ideo, gloria in excelsis Deo!â€Therefore, glory be in the highest to God!Ideas for study and reflection: How might word stress be used to enhance overall musicality? What syllables should be stressed vs. unstressed? What dynamic markings are indicted in the score, and where do they occur? Listen to a recording of the original “Personent Hodie†written in 4/4 time. How are the two settings different? .

A large setting of the traditional Hodie text (in Latin), English composer Martin Leadbetter creates a highly rhythmic, syncopated framework to express the joy of the text. A slightly slower, more legato central section allows for contrast while the end goes back to the opening spirit, with a Gloria and Alleluia. Great for festival services.

Changing meters of 10/8 and 6/8 are sure to grab your attention in this contemporary Christmas choral. Rhythmic four-part voices sing mostly in Latin (with occasional joy to the world interjections) and with various choral textures. Staggered Glorias kick it off with exuberance and joyfully return before the final flourish. It's an inspired surprise when the addition of a descant cleverly combines themes we've heard before. Invite a snare drum player to join (part included) to reinforce the triumphant tone.
