Magnificat for a Chorus of four mixed voices and Basso continuo Pachelbel's choral works excel in the magnificence and festive splendour of their tonal effect but at no point do they depart from an easy singable style. Simplicity of harmonic texture and voice leading is a characteristic of Pachelbel's art generally but it asserts itself especially in these vocal compositions. They are in the best sense of the word 'Gebrauchmusik' that is functional music for the church service on Sundays and feast days for these choral works are always closely associated with the seasonal liturgical themes by means of themnatic employment of the appropriate chorale cantusfirmi. Score & Basso continuo (BA2877) available for sale

from the Opera The Night before Christmas-Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) composed his opera The Night before Christmas in 1894-95. The premiere took place on December 10 1895 in St. Petersburg. The libretto to the opera came from Rimsky-Korsakov himself and is based on a tale by Nikolai Gogol which some years earlier had already served as operatic material for Pjotr Tchaikovsky. The opera tells the story of Vakula the blacksmith of a small Ukranian village. He is madly in love with Oxana who demands - as proof of his love - a most unusual Christmas present: the magnificent slippers of the Empress. Knowing full well that in normal circumstances he would never be able to fulfil Oxana’s wish Vakula seekssupernatural assistance and finds it in the shape of the devil who comes up with a ploy to help him. The devil carries him on his back to St. Petersburg where during a lavish reception at court Vakula finds an opportunity to present his request to the empress. The Empress actually agrees to Vakula’s wish and hands over her slippers to him. Thereupon he returns to his own village. Here in the meantime he had been given up for dead and Oxana had been plunged into great sorrow as she had come to realise that she also truly loved Vakula. In the end however all misunderstandings are resolved and all adversities overcome: Oxana receives her extravagant present the lovers are united and the church bells call the villagers to the Christmas service.The vibrant Polonaise is played in the 3rd act of the opera at the entrance of the Empress whose appearance is anticipated in the prelude by the fanfare motives. The music paints a vivid picture of the party atmosphere and the marvellous décor at the imperial court of St. Petersburg which Rimsky-Korsakov conjures up in his opera and which can also be played outside of the Advent and Christmas season for example as an opening piece to any festive concert.

The cantata Bereitet die Wege is one of the few works by Johann Sebastian Bach of which we know fairly well how it came into being. The autograph full score bears the date 1715; Bach therefore composed the piece for the church service given by the Weimar court orchestra (of which he was the concert master) on 22 December the fourth Sunday in Advent in the year 1715. We even know the author of the words: it was the High Ecclesiastical Secretary in Weimar Salomon Franck who wrote the poem especially for that occasion and had it printed in his annual cycle of cantata texts entitled Evangelisches Andachtsopfer.
