Description:

In Dulci Jubilo by Swr Vokalensemble, released 3 September 2021. This version of In Dulci Jubilo comes as a 1xCD. -

Michael Praetorius saw his most important mission as a composer in the promoting and spreading of the German-language chorale. His collection Musae Sioniae consists of altogether nine volumes and is virtually a complete edition of the Lutheran chorales in every setting imaginable. The Christmas hymns in Musae Sioniae, today just as popular as in that time, were of particular importance for Praetorius. He took greatest care in handling them and presented them often in many different settings. Most of the Christmas hymns selected for this album are also to be heard in different settings, from ornate bicinia and tricinia (in which only two or three of the same voices are used) to magnificent polychorals with two or three choirs, the choral texture so masterful that even the most complicated counterpoint is clearly audible.

"In Dulci Jubilo" is a captivating CD by Marcus Creed and the SWR Vokalensemble, released under the renowned Swrmusic label. This album presents an exquisite collection of choral works centered around Christmas and festive themes, blending traditional carols with contemporary arrangements to create a rich tapestry of sound. The performances are marked by clarity, emotional depth, and technical brilliance?hallmarks of both conductor Marcus Creed and his acclaimed ensemble. Marcus Creed is internationally recognized for his profound interpretations in choral music; under his direction, the SWR Vokalensemble has garnered numerous awards including ECHO Klassik and Diapason d'Or for their innovative recordings. Swrmusic stands as one of Germany?s leading classical labels, known for its commitment to high-quality productions that spotlight exceptional artists from across Europe.
