Story behind the song
An original transcription for synth orchestra based on 3 “ancient” Christmas melodies. The introduction is the Medieval melody “Ihr lieben Hirten” (their dear shepherd), a choral arrangement by Andreas Hammerschmidt (Bohemia, early 1600’s). Then follow Bach’s organ prelude “in dulci jublio” (1600’s), a piece traditionally played at Christmas Mass. From this Bach tune we get the contemporary hymn “Good Christian Men Rejoice.” The final movement is a variation on the French carol, “Josep est bein marie” (late 1600’s) – our transcription from M.R. de Lalande.
