Ein Kindelein so löbelich a 2 by Michael Praetorius — Lyrics
Ein Kindelein so löbelich
ist uns geboren heute,
von einer Jungfrau säuberlich,
zu Trost uns armen Leuten.
Wär uns das Kindelein nicht geborn

About Ein Kindelein so löbelich a 2
These joyful words celebrate the birth of Jesus, a gift to humanity from the Virgin Mary, bringing comfort to all. The German text reminds us that without this birth, we would be lost. It expresses a plea to the sweet Jesus Christ to protect us from hell. Michael Praetorius's setting for two equal voices is a simple yet profound expression of this Christmas message. Its clear melody and gentle harmony make it an accessible and moving piece for choirs looking for a devout and uplifting sacred carol.
