Published by Marilena Zlatanou (A0.1372415). A Selection of Christmas Songs from PIAE CANTIONES for SATB choirPIAE CANTIONES is a Swedish-Finnish manuscript, the earliest collection of songs from Scandinavia (1580). In this selection of 14 Christmas-songs from this manuscript, the arrangements are presented as found in the original, with very few and simple additions, in an effort to preserve the authenticity of the period-sound. The order of the songs, the choice of number of verses, the voice-part distribution, the noted tempi and dynamics are my own suggestions - choices intent to hopefully be in accordance to what is known on musical practices during the Medieval and Renaissance periods in Scandinavia, and indeed all-over Northern Europe. The original manuscript contained only the vocal parts and may therefore be performed a cappella, or separately, but I dare suggest that all the songs will benefit greatly and work beautifully accompanied by an early music instrumental ensemble, (ex.: lute and fidle), or an organ, to double the voice parts and improvise bridges between the songs. Marked in the score are the places for instrumental improvisations suggested, the length of which is open for the players and the conductor to decide on. Duration ca 30’The mp3 file provided is exported from the sibelius file.For more information on the arranger, (member of TONO, the Norwegian copyright org.), please visit website www.zlatanou.net

Published by Randall Donald (A0.1281412). Personent hodie is a Christmas carol originally published in the 1582 Finnish song book Piae Cantiones. A melody found in a 1360 German manuscript is highly similar, and it is from this manuscript that the music is usually dated. The carol became more prominent in England after being arranged for unison voices and orchestra in 1916 by Gustav Holst.This arrangement is written for a choir that usually sings SAB music and can split the soprano. Originally notated in D Dorian and sung by male voices, this version is transposed up a whole tone for a better fit for women's voices and harmony   SSAB A Cappella ChoirISMN 979-0-9025253-1-2.

Monkspath Music #720733. Published by Monkspath Music (A0.1119318). Gaudete! is Christmas carol, believed to originate from the 16th Century. It was published widely in 1582 in the collection of sacred songs known as Piae Cantiones. Whilst the plainchant for the refrain (Gaudete) is clearly published, but there is much debate as to where the melody for the verses came from. Whilst many arrangements and publications include both the refrain and verses in Latin, I have opted here for verses in English, giving flexibility for your performance, and the choice of either language to perform in. Likewise, the voice for the verses is unspecified, leaving it to be sung by any member of the choir. This version is suitable for choirs of any level, especially those who desire an easily legible and flexible arrangement, ready for a Christmas concert, carol service, or other event.
