Psallite unigenitoMaria durch ein Dornwald ging
O Tannenbaum
Freut euch und jubiliert
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Joseph, lieber Joseph mein
Wie soll ich dich empfangen
O oriens splendor lucis aeternae
Ubers Gebirg Maria geht
Das Reis
Die Nacht ist vorgedrungen
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht (Silent Night)
Meine Seele Erhebt en Herrn
Auf dem Heu
Er ist da
Geboren im Stalle
Hier liegt das Kindlein
Kommt, ihr Bruder
Macht euch auf
Mit lieblichen Floten
Nacht uberm Judaland
In dulci jubilo
Der du die Welt geschaffen hast
Steht auf und wacht
Trittst du wieder vor die Nacht
Enatus est Emanuel
Freut euch, ihr lieben Christen
Lobt Gott, ihr Christen alle gleich
Et filius datus est nobis
Dies sanctificatus illuxit nobis

Uns ist ein Kind geboren

Uwe GronostayAbout
The Christmas carols on this CD form a dramaturgical cycle, beginning with the mysterious night into which falls the light of God, followed by narrative and devotional songs as well as hymns of praise leading to the birth of Christ, then back into the night that also symbolically bears within itself the breaking of the new day. They form an arc extending from the music of the Renaissance and Baroque to romantic choral works, settings of lieder and compositions of the 20th century.
For over 40 years, Uwe Gronostay [1939-2008] strongly influenced German and European choral culture as a conductor, pedagogue and organiser in equal measure in the professional choral scene, with high-achievement ensembles amongst amateur choirs, in education at academies of music, and in international networking.
He would have turned 75 on 25 October 2014. To mark this occasion, audite is releasing the present CD with Christmas carols recorded by Gronostay during the 14 years of his period as artistic director of the RIAS Chamber Choir between 1972 and 1986.
Alongside several well-known pieces, there are also lesser-known ones that will offer interested listeners a welcome expansion of the Christmas repertoire. At the same time, the CD documents Gronostay‘s view that all ambitious choral work should begin with the stylistic richness and sonic challenges of the a-cappella literature, progressively working from short forms to major works.
