Hodie Christus Natus Est (423.01) Hodie Christus natus est (Today Christ is Born) is an a cappella double-choir choral motet from Gabrieli’s famous Sacrae symphoniae of 1597. Mr. Chasanov has arranged this music beautifully for a ten-part Brass Ensemble of two five-part choirs (double Brass Quintet). The music is full of remarkable rhythmic counterpoint demanding full concentration from the performers. The four minute arrangement is appropriate for moderately advanced performers. This is an ideal choice to be used for general recitals or as a jubilant work for the Christmas period. Instrumentation: 4 Trumpets in B-flat, 2 Horns in F, 2 Trombones or Euphoniums, 2 Tubas (or Bass Trombones) and substitute Trombone parts for the Horn parts.
