Spiritual consideration of this mystery of faith, which the whole of Christendom celebrates every year at Christmas, has inspired composers of various religious persuasions to write very special works. Along with the works specifically concerning themselves with the Christmas event and qualifying as Christmas songs in the stricter sense of the term, we also find, primarily at the beginning of the program, some genuine Advent songs. Even during what for Christians were pagan times, the word adventus (Latin for \"arrival\") designated both the visit of a human ruler and the presence of a deity in his temple. As in the case of the visit of a state dignitary, certain spiritual exercises were undertaken in preparation for the visit of a god. As a result, the idea that an event begins already with it's preparation was transferred to the spiritual sphere. The Church borrowed this concept for a period of inner reflection intended to convey an inkling of the incomprehensible gift granted to humankind in the miracle of Christmas. This program spanning six centuries offers us the opportunity to trace the history of the spiritual fusion of the Advent and Christmas seasons in music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1        Ecce Virgo Conciept\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Heinrich Isaac\u003cbr\u003e2        Nun Komm, Den Heiden Heiland\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Johannes Eccard\u003cbr\u003e3        Maria Durch Ein' Dornwald Ging\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Günter Raphael\u003cbr\u003e4        Machet Die Tore Weit\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Andreas Hammerschmidt\u003cbr\u003e5        Ave Maris Stella\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Claudio Monteverdi\u003cbr\u003eGeistliche Chormusik (1648) Swv 369-397 (Auszug)    \u003cbr\u003e6        O Lieber Herre Gott    \u003cbr\u003e7        Tröstet Mein Volk    \u003cbr\u003e8        Mirabile Mysterium\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Josef Rheinberger\u003cbr\u003e9        Unser Lieben Frauen Traum\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Max Reger\u003cbr\u003e10        Mirabile Mysterium\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Jacobus Gallus\u003cbr\u003e11        In Dulci Jubilo\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Carl Thiel (2)\u003cbr\u003e12        Auf Dem Berge, Da Geht Der Wind\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Felix Woyrsch\u003cbr\u003e13        Lux Aurumque\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Eric Whitacre\u003cbr\u003e14        Es Ist Ein Ros' Entsprungen\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Jan Sandström\u003cbr\u003e15        A Spotless Rose\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Herbert Howells\u003cbr\u003e16        I Wonder As I Wander\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – John Rutter\u003cbr\u003e17        A Child Is Born In Bethlehem\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Antonín Tucapsky*\u003cbr\u003e18        O Magnum Mysterium\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Morten Lauridsen\u003cbr\u003e19        Ich Steh An Deiner Kripper Hier\u003cbr\u003eComposed By – Johannes Eccard\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CPO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027433234682,"sku":"555318-2","price":11.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/3812206-2564551.jpg?v=1784321704","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/en-de\/products\/mirabile-mysterium-choral-music-for-christmas","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
