Description: A selection of Advent and Christmas music which includes cantus firmus arrangements, two-part to double-chorus works, organ music as well as vocal-instrumental music, all giving a good example of the breadth of the composer's accomplishment in a seemingly narrow genre. Latin/German-English texts. Bremen Baroque Consort; Manfred Cordes.
