Vierstimmige Weihnachtsgesänge

Bring the festive sounds of the 17th century to life in your music making! The "Vierstimmige Weihnachtsgesänge" (Four-Part Christmas Carols), drawn from the historic collection "Musikalische Weynacht- und New Jahrs Zierde" (Erfurt 1621), offer wonderful Renaissance and early Baroque settings arranged for recorder quartet (SATB).

Published by the renowned Moeck Verlag in a practical playing score, this edition features three contemplative and beautifully harmonic pieces:

• "Wir danken dir, Herr Jesu Christ"

• "O Gottes Wort"

• "Herr Christ, lass leuchten uns dein Stern"

Whether for atmospheric playing at home, church services, or festive Christmas concerts – these pieces will delight players and audiences alike with their warm, resonant ensemble sound. An essential addition to any recorder ensemble's repertoire for the Advent and Christmas season!
