Synopsis

Many of today’s popular Christmas carols have their origins in Germany. Famous tunes such as Silent Night and O Christmas Tree stem from this rich musical tradition. However, the Germanic customs Advent and Yuletide music extend well beyond these 19th century tunes, influenced in part by Luther’s Protestant Reformation, which prompted communal hymn singing.

 

During the late Renaissance (16th-17th centuries), many notable carols were integrated into Germanic musical life, encompassing both Advent and Christmas music—two distinct liturgical periods in the church’s calendar.

 

Join Chroma as they present a collection of Renaissance Advent and Christmas carols, interspersed with seasonal motets, mass movements, and even a grace before Christmas dinner. This performance will feature works by Jacobus Handl (Gallus), Michael Praetorius, Hans Leo Hassler, and Heinrich Schütz.
