Oratorio de NoÙl op. 12 "Christmas Oratorio" (Arranged for Soloists, Choir and Organ) 聖桑斯 神劇 獨奏 管風琴 騎熊士版

聖桑的《聖誕清唱劇》因其拉丁文本而受到全世界的追捧。聖桑在他的教堂音樂中避免了戲劇效果，幾乎完全依賴於同音合唱。在他的作品中，當時非常流行的歌劇典故已讓位於浪漫氣息和對巴羅克風格的追憶。雖然作曲家並不知道巴赫的《聖誕清唱劇》，但副標題卻寫著 "dans le style de J. S. Bach"

原文簡介:
Owing to its Latin text, Saint-Saëns’ Christmas Oratorio has found admirers all over the world. Saint-Saëns avoids theatrical effects in his church music and relies almost entirely on homophonic choral writing. Here the operatic allusions so popular in his day have given way to a mixture of romantic élan and reminiscences of the Baroque. The subtitle reads “ dans le style de J. S. Bach” although the composer was unaware of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio.

In this unusual form the oratorio, of which the final movement is already a hit with many choruses, is well-suited for performance during the Advent and Christmas seasons, providing a welcome change from Bach.

- A “discovery” for Christmas and Advent concerts

- Relatively simple choral writing

- Sensitive organ arrangement
