About This Song
About "Handl, Jacob : Hodie Christus natus est" by Chanticleer
Handl's motet announces the Nativity with galloping counterpoint and antiphonal brilliance, Chanticleer's ensemble surging like bells across a snowy square. 'Hodie Christus natus est' is pure proclamation: bright, declamatory, and rhythmically buoyant, joy rendered as architectural momentum rather than sentiment.
