About Hodie Christus natus est II
The words of this motet express the joy and wonder of the Nativity, announcing Christ's birth and the appearance of the Saviour. Angels in heaven sing and archangels rejoice, while the righteous on earth exult, proclaiming glory to God in the highest. This setting for three-part women's voices (SAA) is in Latin, a traditional liturgical language, and fits the sacred genre. The text's message of divine joy is conveyed with a sense of exultation suitable for the Christmas season. Mariano Garau's composition offers a vibrant musical expression of this profound theological event, inviting singers and listeners alike to share in the celebration of the Incarnation.
