- In Dulci Jubilo, BWV 608
[2:16]
Chorale for Christmas from the Orgelbüchlein, arranged for Trumpet, English Horn, Bassoon and Tuba, using the Zimbelstern from the JEUX Pipe Organ
SoundFont. (The Zimbelstern was a series of high-sounding bells on a rotating star which added a delicate and rhythmic background accompaniment to
whatever else was being played.)
- Chorale Text
German (with a smattering of Latin and Greek):
In dulci jubilo singet und seid froh!
Unsers Herzens Wonne liegt in praesepio,
leuchtet als die Sonne Matris in gremio.
Alpha es et O. Alpha es et O.
English (same macaronic mixture of languages):
In dulci jubilo Your praises hereby show,
He our hearts sweet treasure lies in praesepio,
Is come to do God's pleasure Matris in gremio
Alpha es et O. Alpha es et O.
