Here is an energetic re-imagining of the traditional Hodie Christus natus est chant. The piece starts with an imitative Gloria in excelsis loosely based on the Hodie melody, then launches into the Hodie text. A modulation leads to a middle section with a more faithful (but still metrical) unison statement of the chant, which then returns to the original Gloria/Hodie in a higher key, leading to a joyous conclusion. Originally conceived for 2-part girls' choir, this little gem will be fun music-making for any combination of two parts.
