The history of the composition of the oratorio is odd: the kernel of this three-part work were the movements from the middle section, the Flight to Egypt, which Berlioz composed on a whim in 1850 and which he passed off as the work of a baroque composer whose existence he himself had invented. In 1854 the triptych, which was completed with the parts entitled The dream of Herodes and The arrival at Sais, had its celebrated first performance. Starting from the Gospel of St. Matthew, with the visit of the astrologer to Herodes and the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt, Berlioz chose to relate the story of the events of Christmas from another angle. This skillful dramatisation, with impressive instrumental sections, such as the independent trio for two flutes and harp as well as the effective choruses with local color, make this sacred trilogy a grateful enrichment of the repertoire for Christmas music. Score and part available separately - see item CA.7003800.

Here is a high-energy piece suitable for either the concert stage or the sanctuary. Body percussion adds energy, and the gospel-style piano accompaniment drives it all to a powerful conclusion.

In der vorliegenden Ausgabe wurden die grossartigen Melodien dieser alten Weihnachtslieder mit deutschen Texten verschiedener Herkunft versehen. Wahrend die franzosischen Originaltexte fast ausnahmslos durch eine kaum nachvollziehbare Marienfrommigkeit gepragt sind, tritt in den hier unterlegten Teten die biblische Weihnachtsbotschaft in den Mittelpunkt. Mit Bedacht habe ich zu diesen Melodien einfache Satze im alten Stil geschrieben. Abgesehen vom Noël Nr. 6 [Gnadig und barmherzig] durfte sich bei der Auffuhrung ein recht lebhaftes Tempo empfehlen.

Sounds, colors and scents can conjure up places of longing. During the Romantic period, the desire to travel and see other places was seen as an expression of some inner state of mind. In L'invitation au voyage, the boundaries between what is real and imaginary seem to dissolve in the lyrical perception of a journey to the inner self: There we find nothing but order and beauty, splendor, peace, and delightâ€. This is unattainable perfection as a place of longing, where we are freed from all earthly cares. A never-ending sixteenth-note figure in the piano accompaniment flickers like a shimmering veil over these words, which in their poetry seem to remove us far from our earthly existence. “The world falls asleep in a warm light!This art song was originally composed not for chamber choir, but for solo voice and piano. Denis Rouger has carefully adapted it to suit the requirements and expressive possibilities offered by a larger ensemble, without losing any of the qualities of the original. Each part in the choir has a melodic line drawn from the harmonic and rhythmic framework. In the process, the variety and refinement of the choral language combines with an enormous flexibility in form and expression, as French melodies or German art songs demand from a soloist and pianist.The songs have been recorded by the figure humaine chamber choir on the CD ... wo die Zitronen blühn (Carus 83.514).
