About Een kindeken is ons geboren
This Dutch Christmas carol recounts the Nativity scene, with the infant Jesus born in Bethlehem. The text describes Herod's fear and the arrival of the Wise Men in Jerusalem, guided by prophecy. They journeyed without fear of trouble or expense, carrying their gifts. Cornelis de Leeuw's setting for SAB voices captures the humble joy of this sacred occasion. The straightforward yet evocative language paints a clear picture of the events, making it suitable for a Christmas service or concert.
