In dulci jubilo, for 2 sopranos, bass, 2 violins and continuo, BuxWV52Genre: Other Solo Vocal
Pr. Instruments: Soprano & Bass
This cantata elaborates the Christmas chorale "In dulci jubilo." The cantata is scored for two sopranos, bass, two violins, and continuo. The chorale is in four verses and Buxtehude sets all four. The melody of the chorale appears distinctly enough in soprano, but Buxtehude often adds little melismas at the ends of phrases adding a bit more gentle jubilation to that already present in the chorale melody. The text of this chorale is interesting. It consists both of German and Latin, alternating Latin and German phrases.
