A rising young composer has given us a spirited 21st-century madrigal set to a medieval Christmas text. A finalist in the BBC Radio 3 Carol of the Year Composition Competition 2016, the music throws singer and listener alike into a joyous dance in Dorian mode that culminates in a cascade of alleluias when the mode shifts to Ionian (major) at the close.

Lilting Alleluia refrains contrast with introspective verses that are a perfect vehicle for the thought-provoking imagery of poet Paulann Canty. Repeated musical material makes the piece easy to learn, so that rehearsal time can be spent on a flexible and sensitive performance. SATB and TTBB voicings also available. Duration 2:30.

In his Christmas motet Hodie Christus natus est Schutz employs the full mastery of his madrigalian musical language and exploits all the sonorous richness which the six part scoring offers him. The choral groups alternate in singing the greeting of peace pax to each other, the alleluia scales continue playfully and with sophistication, continually crossing. A work which is well-suited to church and chamber choirs, and will be a joy to sing at Christmas time.Separate edition taken from Vol. 19 of the Stuttgart Schutz Edition (Complete Edition Carus 20.919).. Score available separately - see item CA.2045600.
