The beautiful fourteenth century hymn Puer natus in Bethlehem has been set in Norwegian with the addition of a singable English text. The melody is based on a Norwegian folk tune that makes this a very unique and stylized offering for Christmas. Mixed meter along with improvised and rhythmic vocal syllables in the harmonic texture give it an ancient-modern feel that is stylistically engaging for mature choirs. Marked a cappella, but improvised lute, violin, and string bass can also be used to add to the folky flavor.
