Description

Hodie Christus Natus Est (Latin for Today Christ is Born) is a Gregorian chant sung at Christmas and exists in various versions by different composers, such as Palestrina, Poulenc, Sweetlinck and Giovanni Gabrieli. Giovanni Gabrieli (1557–1612) was an Italian composer and organist and one of the most influential musicians of his time. He represents the culmination of the style of the Venetian School, at the time of the shift from Renaissance to Baroque idioms. Born in Venice, he studied with his uncle, the composer Andrea Gabrieli, who was employed at St Mark's (San Marco's) Basilica. In 1584 he became principal organist at St Mark's Basilica and a year later following his uncle's death he took up the post of principal composer as well. Much of his music was written specifically for that location, which had a long tradition of musical excellence and Gabrieli's work there made him one of the most noted composers in Europe.

“Brilliant technique and superb artistry from all concerned.”

Denis Wick

“This intriguing "water-borne" voyage runs the gamut from more classically-tinged interpretations to straight-ahead and improvised jazz. Along that journey we are treated to a highly inspired and masterfully presented performance.”

“The CD is just fabulous. The ensemble playing is fantastic; the tightness of the ensemble is amazing; the balance and dynamics are just brilliant.”
