Advent: the beginning of the Christian year, traditionally a time of preparation for Christmas, is in danger of being drowned by the hustle and bustle of pre-Christmas antics \u2013 even more so than the feast itself. Music offers us a place far removed from all the loud and glaring features of these days: composers of all periods have been inspired to write stunning works by the chants and liturgies for the four Sundays of Advent, and the Junger Kammerchor Rhein-Neckar under the direction of Mathias Rickert has made an appealing selection from this cornucopia: ranging from Tom\u00e1s Luis de Victoria (1548-1611) and William Byrd (1543-1623), Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) and Erhard Mauersberger (1903-1982), to composers of the present. Jan Wilke (*1980) and Dominik Dieterle (*1989) are the youngest members of an illustrious group which includes famous names such as Bob Chilcott (*1955), Morten Lauridsen (*1943), and Arvo P\u00e4rt (*1935). A number of the Latin O antiphons, traditionally used in the offices of the last seven days before Christmas, are complemented by new settings of well-known Advent songs such as Es kommt ein Schiff geladen, O Heiland rei\u00df die Himmel auf, and Macht hoch die T\u00fcr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
