"In dulci jubilo" Michael Praetorius | Gabrieli Consort & Players (Paul McCreesh)

[@walfredswanson]

This should be a staple of every Lutheran church Christmas program (everybody else, too, but honestly, why have Lutherans given up on their glorious musical heritage?). How can you not be excited by this?

[@mcburcke]

Beautifully done, indeed! I think this is the only time I've ever seen a Quart-Bass Dulcian and a Greatbass Shawm played together in a performance. I play both instruments, so I have a great interest in seeing them used. Thank you to whomever scored the parts!

[@alfredbackhus6110]

That great bass shawm makes up half of the entire bass sound, it is incredible how powerful and just... violent the music sounds with this bass.

OK, this is going on my "it doesn't get better than" list. This was simply mind-blowingly beautiful and powerful. There is nothing more beautiful. Starting with the glorious composition(s) by Praetorius along with such gifted performers under the direction of a conductor who understands and loves the music (I think it's safe to say). Thank you so much for posting!

The name of Paul McCreesh on any musical production all but guarantees a superior work and thrilling experience.

Just been reading about the Gabrieli's Roar project. Brings tears to my eyes to learn about such a fantastic initiative x.

👍 for maestro Paul McCreesh! Шкода, що в генія замало часу та можливостей.

[@musicasacrawv]

Genial!

The soprano on the right looks like the one that used to sing with Voces 8.

Emily Dickens!

[@yonseiman3766]

is this music arranged? it is different with musae sioniae.

[@danawinsor1380]

I wonder: was the drum part in Praetorius' original?

[@AlasPoorEngland]

Some years ago I had access to Praetorius’ Collected Works and there’s certainly a drums part there! I was surprised too …

Weihnachten .so wie früher .p

[@alexandradeuen1610]

Bläser auf der empore .wie es sich für traditionelle musik gehört .der sound von 1600 .nicht der krampf der90ziger jahre .

[@merryhunt9153]

This is good music, but good grief, everybody's so serious! It's a happy song, a folk song from around 1400. Smile some, and the music will sound joyous.

Some of those instruments look like they were borrowed from a medieval art exhibit.
