Gelobet seist du Jesu Christ (We Praise You Jesus Christ) is an old Christmas hymn dating from the 16th century, which can still be found in many hymnbooks today. John Blanken has created a varied and imaginative arrangement on four verses of the hymn. After the introduction, derived from the opening notes, the hymn is first accompanied by an agile harmonisation. Next, we hear the chorale in a four-part setting with a percussion accompaniment. Then follows a short prologue to the third verse and finally its time for fireworks as the arrangement takes a stylistic leap in time with the festive prelude to the fourth and last verse.Gelobet seist du Jesu Christ ist ein altes Weihnachtslied, das aufs 16. Jahrhundert zurückgeht und heute noch in vielen Liederbüchern zu finden ist. John Blanken bearbeitete vier Strophen dieses Liedes in ganz verschiedenen Weisen: Nach der Einleitung erklingt es zunächst komplett, von einer beweglichen Harmonisierung begleitet, und dann als vierstimmiger Choral mit Schlagzeug. In der dritten Strophe liegt der Cantus firmus im Tenor und wird vom hohen Register umspielt. Der grandiose Schluss führt thematisch wieder zum Beginn des Werkes zurück.Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ è un brano natalizio tedesco del XVI secolo. John Blanken ne ha realizzato un arrangiamento pieno di diversit . Dopo una breve introduzione, la melodia è esposta nella sua integrit . Viene quindi inserita in un corale a quattro voci con percussioni. La terza strofa porta il cantus firmus nel cuore del registro tenore. Il finale è semplicemente maestoso.
