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 boeuf', 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
- 'Its
fifteen minute duration, the well known tunes, the easy yet imaginative choral writing, and the wide variety of atmostpheric treatments all combine to make this a successful piece for choirs wanting
something different but not too demanding at Christmas. It will also please audiences in church or school who want to hear something with familiar Christmas tunes.' -James L. Montgomery, Church
Music Quarterly, December 08
