About Hodie Christus natus est
On this day Christ is born, on this day the Saviour has appeared, on this day angels sing on earth, archangels rejoice. This setting of the well-known Christmas text for SATB choir celebrates the joy of the Nativity. The words express the universal acclamation of Christ’s birth, from the heavenly hosts to the righteous on earth, culminating in the Gloria. André Vierendeels’ setting is a vibrant acclamation, fitting for the liturgical season. The Latin text is a traditional Marian antiphon associated with Christmas.
