Hoort hier herders by Jan Van der Wielen — Lyrics
Hoort hier herders wat een spel,
hoort eens wat een soet gheluyt,
hoort eens d'Engels singhen wel,
ick wil haelen mijne fluyt.
Sa sa herders comt dan voort,
comt en hoort dit fraey accoort.

About Hoort hier herders
Christmas carolling offers a joyous opportunity for a choir. This Dutch carol, Hoort hier herders, evokes the scene of shepherds hearing the angels sing and then calling each other to join in the celebration. The text speaks of fetching instruments – flutes, reeds, and lutes – and singing together in this happy time. Composed for SSATB voices, this piece provides a rich texture for exploring the festive atmosphere of the nativity. The language is Dutch, and the genre is sacred Christmas music.
