for SATB choir, soprano solo, and children's choir with piano or organ or chamber orchestra or brass
This accessible Christmas cantata presents a sequence of the five carols 'Personent hodie',
'Entre le boeuf', 'Gaudete!', 'Infant holy', and 'Angelus ad Virginem'. McDowall gives the familiar melodies a colourful new harmonic treatment, and the arrangements range in atmosphere from
tenderness to joyful exaltation. The children's choir part is printed at the end of the score and may be photocopied.
Orchestral and brass material is available on hire.

- 'The Christmas cantata Christus natus est is a hit: an absolute delight from start to finish.' Robert Matthew-Walker, International Record Review, March 2005
- 'Its five short movements
are extremely imaginative arrangements of two Latin carols from Piae Cantiones, the French carol 'Entre le buf', and a traditional Polish carol 'Infant holy', all linked by a series of clever variants
on one of McDowall's own carols, 'Of a rose'. This is a piece which, if I were king, would be done in musical schools every year! Music & Vision Web Review, December 2004
The specification in this catalogue, including without limitation price, format, extent, number of illustrations, and month of publication, was as accurate as possible at the time the catalogue was compiled.
