In dulci jubilo by Carlotta Ferrari — Lyrics
1.
In dulci jubilo,
Nun singet und seid froh!
Unsers Herzens Wonne liegt
in praesepio,
Und leuchtet als die Sonne
Matris in gremio,
Alpha es et O!
2.
O Jesu parvule
Nach dir ist mir so weh!
Tröst' mir mein Gemüte
O puer optime
Durch alle deine Güte
O princeps gloriae.
Trahe me post te!

About In dulci jubilo
Carlotta Ferrari’s setting of In dulci jubilo unfolds with a vibrant, festive spirit, reflecting the joyous nature of its Christmas text. The piece is structured for contrasting SATB and SA voices, creating a rich interplay of textures and colours. The familiar Latin and German carol expresses the delight of the Nativity, portraying Christ’s birth as a source of heavenly light and solace. Ferrari skillfully draws on the text’s imagery, from the infant Jesus in the manger to the angelic choirs singing nova cantica. The music captures the exultation of the season, offering a moving yet celebratory interpretation of this cherished medieval text.
