His music reaches back to the great German polyphonists like Schutz, imbuing it with polymodal and polyrythmic elements, creating a unique, introverted, ascetic but deeply felt language that touches the heart. His personal troubles and the repression of his music by the Nazis that thought it 'degenerate,' led to his suicide in 1942. This recording, featuring a stellar solo cast ably supported by the Thomanerchor Leipzig - one of the most respected choirs in Europe - can only increase your appreciation for a composer whose work represents an important chapter in sacred music history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Das Volk, So Im Finstern Wandelt \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Es Ist Ein Ros Entsprungen \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Es Ward Gesandt Der Engel Gabriel \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Das Röslein, Das Ich Meine \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Maria Aber Stand Auf \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Meine Seele Erhebt Gott, Den Herrn, Wir Bitten Dich Von Herzen \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Es Begab Sich Aber Zu Der Zeit \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Das Blümelein So Kleine \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Und Es Waren Hirten \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Ehre Sei Gott in Der Höhe \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Und Da Die Engel \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Lasset Uns Nun Gehen \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Und Sie Kamen Eilend \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Die Hirten Zu Der Stunden \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Da Jesus Geboren War Zu Bethlehem \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Wo Ist Der Neugeborene König \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Da Das Der König Herodes Hörete \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Zu Bethlehem, Im Jüdischen Lande \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Denn Also Stehet Geschrieben \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Lob, Ehr Sei Gott Dem Vater \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Und Siehe, Ein Mensch War Zu Jerusalem \u003cbr\u003e1.22 So Singen Wir All Amen \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Also Hat Gott Die Welt Geliebt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
