Legends of St. Nicholas, Set 1 (frm Legends of St. Nicholas): Anonymous 4 (SSA)

Be the first to review this product

The jolly figure of Santa Claus, symbol of the secular side of Christmas, began with a fourth-century Christian saint named Nicholas. His life and deeds were not recorded until several hundred years after his death, so that separating fact from legend is virtually impossible...We have selected four works from different times and places in honor of St. Nicholas. These can be heard on our recording "The Legends of St. Nicholas". On that recording, we use local Latin pronunciation, depending on the origin of each piece (shown in IPA renderings in this edition. But normal "church Latin" pronunciation is perfectly acceptable." (Description taken from the performance notes.)

The collection includes:
- "Intonent hodie"
- "Exultemus et letemur"
- "Gaudens in domino"
- "Nicolai presulis"
