About Hodie Christus natus est
The text proclaims the joyous news of Christ's birth, marking the arrival of the Savior on earth. Angels sing and Archangels rejoice, while the righteous exult, proclaiming Gloria in excelsis Deo. This jubilant Latin text is set in this motet by Johann Donfrid for a mixed choir of treble and male voices (SSB, TTB). The music reflects the festive nature of the liturgical season, celebrating the miraculous event with a sense of profound spiritual elevation. It is a celebratory work from the sacred choral tradition.
