Festive Christmas Music

The Advent and Christmas season is particularly festive and atmospheric, especially because of the numerous traditional songs. The German composer Edmund Löffler has compiled a selection of these songs in his composition "Festliche Weihnachtsmusik". The various melodies are combined with interludes to create a kind of musical Christmas tale. The opening songs "Alle Jahre wieder" and "Morgen, Kinder, wird's was geben" are followed by a fanfare, leading over to the old tune "Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen". A shepherd's music connects the songs "Ihr Kinderlein kommet" and "Stille Nacht". The following ringing of bells finally forms the prelude to "Kling, Glöckchen, kling" before Handel's "Tochter Zion" solemnly concludes the piece.
