Of the Father's Love Begotten (Original Version)

# data[].attributes.body
Originally composed as a stand-alone motet for mixed a cappella choir, Of the Father's Love Begotten is based on the 10th-century Latin hymn Corde natus ex parentis, which served as one of the primary sources of inspiration and musical material for Yosef and the Counseling Angel. The motet now serves as one of the final choruses of the oratorio and includes instrumental accompaniment.

This is a live recording performed by Schola Cantorum San Francisco in 2006.

Aria (Gabriel)
Gabriel colorfully announces the birth of the Lord to the lowly shepherds, as the piccolo depicts the playfulness of the shepherd's flock. Fans of opera may notice the not so subtle nod to Puccini's Shepherd Boy solo from Tosca.

Those familiar with the O Magnum Mysterium of Victoria or Lauridsen will find something quite different in this nativity scene, which highlights the bizarre reality of a baby being born in a manger among beasts. It is followed by a playful lullaby set to an adaptation of the text, I Saw A Maiden.
