Now sing and rejoice

ell-known Christmas carols from the German-speaking Renaissance: they sound festive with the trombones of the Basler Posaunenchor and cornetos!

The programme includes Christmas carols such as “Joseph, lieber Joseph mein”, “In Dulci Jubilo” and “Es ist ein Ros’ entsprungen” – in the form in which they first appeared in the Renaissance, including Leonhard Schröter’s “Newe Weihnacht Liedlein” of 1587 and the famous arrangements by Michael Praetorius in his Musae Sioniae prints of 1605-1610.

ReRenaissance introduces listeners to Christmas carols in a variety of ways, from playful duo arrangements to double-choir versions with a chorus of cornetti and trombones. Above all, the movements printed in the programme can be sung ad hoc!
