A charming and atmospheric way to round off the Christmas concert: Heribert Breuer, founder and conductor of the Berlin Bach Academy, conceived this four-minute work as a "bouncer" for performances of Bach's Christmas Oratorio. As an alternative to the orchestral version (Carus 10.214/00), choirs can now also perform this popular encore in a smaller version for choir and organ. The Sicilian folk tune "O sanctissima" gradually rises from an organ point, and the audience somehow finds this melody familiar ... Then the mystery is solved: hidden in the alto part, the first verse of "O du fröhliche" is heard! The second verse is entrusted to the sopranos and in the third, the audience is invited to sing along. After a short coda, all the performers wish the audience: "Merry Christmas!"
