The Groovy Version of OX. Par SCHONHERR CHRISTOPH. Christoph Schönherr, Professor at the Hamburg Conservatory of Music, is a respected expert in the field of jazz and pop choirs and he is a much sought after choral composer. He has written of his work: “I have been especially influenced by the polarity of the text. On one hand it expresses Mary's joy at her pregnancy, but on the other Mary presents a bold image of God: a God of almost old Testament sternness in his demand for justice on earth. My music depicts a strong woman, who rejoices in her happiness and also swings [many 6/8, 12/8 and swing passages], but on the other hand who in formulating her concept of God clearly stands up for the poor and needy. Here I use stylisticelements of rock and funk music. ”/ Répertoire / Solo, Choeur SATB, 2 Trompettes/Bugle, Saxophone/F

Christoph Schönherr’s six-minute “Hodie Christus natus est†provides just the right mood for Christmas time. Starting with the Magnificat antiphon of the same name, this beautiful, accessible work for modest instrumental forces combines stylistic elements of Gregorian chant and jazz.
