The familiar hymn Veni Emmanuel is emblematic of the Advent season – a period of reflection upon the meaning of Christ’s coming. Framing this programme, the hymn paraphrases the great ‘O’ Antiphons (plainchant settings traditionally sung on the days leading up to Christmas), complemented here by later works echoing their rich imagery and symbolism.

Works:
• trad.: O come, o come, Emmanuel
• Bach, J S: Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV436
• Byrd: Vigilate (from Cantiones sacrae 1589)
• Howells: Magnificat (Gloucester, 1946)
• Howells: The fear of the Lord
• Mendelssohn: Say, where is he born, the King of Judaea
• Mendelssohn: There shall a star from Jacob (from Christus)
• Praetorius, M: Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen
• Rachmaninov: Bogoroditse Devo (Rejoice, O Virgin) (from Vespers, Op. 37)
• Ross, Graham: I sing of a maiden
• Ross, Guy: O Come, O come, Emmanuel
• Rutter: Hymn to the Creator of Light
• Sheppard, J: Audivi vocem de caelo
• Tavener: God is With Us (A Christmas Proclamation)
• Warlock: Bethlehem Down
• Williams, Roderick: O Adonai
