Centered around Jheronimus Vinders’ magnificent \u003cem\u003eMissa Fit porta Christi pervia\u003c\/em\u003e, the program weaves together plainsong, Renaissance polyphony, traditional Dutch Christmas songs and organ music to evoke the rich soundscape of a sixteenth-century Christmas liturgy. As the final volume in Cappella Pratensis’ acclaimed \u003cem\u003eDen Bosch Choirbooks\u003c\/em\u003e series, this recording brings centuries-old musical treasures from one of Europe’s most important surviving choirbook collections vividly back to life through historically informed performance and meticulous scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding to the recording’s extraordinary authenticity is the use of the Van Straten organ at Amsterdam’s Orgelpark, a precise replica of the 1479 organ from Utrecht's Nicolaïkerk, whose sound world closely reflects that of the late Middle Ages. Combined with the ensemble’s immersive performance practice, singing directly from original choirbook notation, the result is an inspiring musical journey that transports the listener into the splendour, devotion and ceremonial grandeur of an imperial Christmas more than 480 years ago. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ensemble has regularly received a Diapason d’Or, the Prix Choc, and three consecutive Gramophone Editor’s Choices for the last three CDs.
