About Hodie Christus
Perfect for Christmas Day, Lorenzo Donati's Hodie Christus natus est is a vibrant setting of the traditional Latin text celebrating the Nativity. The music captures the joyous exultation of the angels and the righteous on this most holy of days. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures, effectively conveying the 'Gloria in excelsis Deo' and the triumphant 'Alleluia'. This motet offers a powerful and uplifting musical experience, ideal for a festive liturgical occasion or a concert program focused on the Christmas season. Its direct and celebratory nature makes it an engaging choice for choirs seeking to express the profound joy of Christ's birth.
