Hodie Christus Natus Est translates to Today, Christ is born. Of all the Hodie's that I know of, this one is my absolute favorite.
The original motet was written for 5 voices. This transcription for brass choir has 8 voices. The trombone parts were created to give the piece fullness, as they mimic the Trumpet 1 and 2 parts. The Euphonium and Tuba parts share a lot the same notes also, to help give the piece a solid bottom. That said, this piece can be played with only 5 parts, but it sounds great with 8. This piece will help make your Christmas concert a very festive one!
Scored for 2 Trumpets, 2 French Horns, 2 Trombones, Euphonium and Tuba.
