On your way to church in the evening, you walk through the Christmas Market in the town square, enjoying the sights, sounds and scents of the season. As you enter the church, the organist is already playing chorale preludes, and you see the brass and string players assembling and getting set-up for the service. The church is lit with candles flickering around the audience, who are excited to hear and sing the carols and Magnificat that Praetorius has written for the special day. - Paul GrindlayStep into the radiant soundscape of Christmas 1615 with Celestial Harmonies: The Magnificent Songs of Praetorius.
