The Urtext edition (2023) of Jean Sibelius’ Five Christmas Songs op. 1 for voice and piano is based on the critical edition presented in the volume VIII/2 Works for Solo Voice Vol. 2 of Jean Sibelius Works (JSW) edited by Jukka Tiilikainen. The lyrics are included in Swedish, Finnish and English.Sakari Ylivuori's introduction illuminates the history of the beloved songs: May 1, 1913 was cold and wet. Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) spent the day at home at Ainola composing two Christmas songs: settings of poems for children by Zachris Topelius. The two songs born on that chilly spring day were Nu står jul vid snöig port (Now stands Yule at the snowy gate) and Nu så kommer julen (Now is Christmas coming). He then put them together with three Christmas carols he had earlier composed and gave the set the imposing Opus number 1. He had previously considered giving the distinction to various other works, but from 1915 onwards the Five Christmas Songs had the honour of heading his catalogue. [...]ContentsNu står jul vid snöig port • Joulu saapuu portin luo • Now stands Yule at the snowy gate [F major]Nu så kommer julen • Tervehtii jo meitä joulu armahin • Now is Christmas coming [e minor]Det mörknar ute • Jo joutuu ilta • O’er hill and dale [F major]Julvisa • En etsi valtaa, loistoa • Christmas song [G major]On hanget korkeat, nietokset • Visst drivor höga som skyn vi ha • The shining snows are driving high [F major].

Cecil Armstrong Gibbs was a prolific and versatile English composer of the 20th century. Gibbs is best known for his output of songs, but he also wrote a considerable amount of music for the amateur choirsthat he conducted. His reputation as a song-writer largely lies in his natural gift for text setting - he insisted on giving priority to the words over the music and had very clear musical ideas on what a song shouldbe.
These principles prevailed when writing The Cherry Tree in 1949 - the Voice is clearly put to the foreground, with the Piano only supporting the singer in the background, so a confident and capableperformance is needed from the soloist. Words by Margaret Rose. Performance time approximately 3 minutes.

This festive call to praise affirms the voice of worship and invites the world to sing along. Solid writing permeates the piece, giving choirs much to work with as they seek a full confident sound. The inclusion of the beloved tune LANDAS with the text of How Can I Keep from Singing is a moving moment, making this an excellent choice for choirs returning to the loft.
