Like twinkling starlight, the joyful tidings of Christmas run through centuries of music \u2013 from Bethlehem’s night sky to the present day. In their new album “Tidings of Joy”, the eight singers of the Voktett Hannover present a selection of Christmas music in sophisticated a cappella settings. The recording contains works by well-known composers such as Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Gottfried Wolters, Hugo Distler, Heinrich Sch\u00fctz, Michael Praetorius, Max Reger and Peter Cornelius, arranged by Clytus Gottwald (*1925). Contemporary settings and equally familiar melodies come from Sebastian Knappe (*1989), David Willcocks (1919-2015), James Lord Pierpont (1822-1893) and Irving Berlin (1888-1989), among others, in the arrangement by Jeremy Davies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
