Clarinet Choir,Woodwind Ensemble Bass Clarinet,E-Flat Clarinet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.559465 Composed by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck. Arranged by Lisa Ochoco. Christmas,Renaissance,Sacred. 31 pages. Lisa L Ochoco #2897271. Published by Lisa L Ochoco (A0.559465). 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 clarinet choir has 9 voices. Optional Clarinet 4 and 5 parts were created to give the piece fullness, as they are exactly the same as Clarinet in Eb and Clarinet 1 parts, but an octave lower. The alto and bass parts share a lot the same notes also, to help give the piece a solid bottom. The contrabass shares the same music as the bass. That said, this piece can be played with only 5 parts, but it sounds great with 9.
