Hugo Distler's Weihnachtsgeschichte op. 10 is in a deeply heartfelt style, and his Christmas motets, written at various points in his life, sound just as vivid in their expression. With madrigalian energy he conjures up images of light, shot through with a powerful sense of hope. In the process he uses old mystical and Lutheran texts and melodies, and shapes the traditions in his own style. This edition contains new and alternative texts to extend the range of uses. For example, the jewel amongst Distler's song-motets "Die Sonne sinkt von hinnen" with its new text can now be used during Advent. Score available separately - see item CA.738900.
