The Latin word Introitus means â??entryâ??. Originally, this was a psalm sung to accompany the entrance of a bishop, priest or celebrant into the church. Later it was incorporated into the mass with alternating sung and spoken text, reflecting the mood of the liturgy. Jacob de Haanâ??s Introitus, in which he has arranged the hymns Puer natus est nobis and Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich, is a wonderful introduction to the Christmas season and can be performed with any instrumental combination with mixed choir and organ ad libitum.Het Latijnse woord â??Introitusâ?? betekent binnentreden. Oorspronkelijk was de Introitus een gezongen psalm, die het binnentreden van een bisschop of priester in de kerk begeleidde.

Jacob de haan verwerkte in zijn Introitus de liederen Puer natus est nobis en Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich.

Später wurde der Introitus Teil der Messe mit wechselndem gesungenen oder gesprochenen Text, der auf den Inhalt der Liturgie einstimmen sollte. Jacob de Haans Introitus, in dem er die Lieder und Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich verarbeitete, ist eine wunderbare Einstimmung auf das Fest und kann in jeder Instrumentenkombination mit gemischtem Chor und Orgel ad libitum aufgefu?hrt werden.Le mot latin Introitus signifie introduction.
