Composed by Piae Cantiones. Arranged by Ray Thompson. Christmas,Classical,Sacred. 10 pages. RayThompsonMusic #114978. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.502627).Also known as "Unto us a boy is born" "Puer nobis nascitur", usually translated as "Unto Us Is Born a Son", is a medieval Christmas carol found in a number of manuscript sources—the 14th-century German Moosburg Gradual and a 15th-century Trier manuscript. The book became well known in Britain after a rare original copy of Piae Cantiones owned by Peter of Nyland was given as a gift to the British Minister in Stockholm. He subsequently gave it to John Mason Neale in 1852, and it was from this copy that Neale, in collaboration with Thomas Helmore published songs in two collections in 1853 and 1854 respectively, although this carol was not included in either. The carol became popular as a processional hymn following a translation by George Ratcliffe Woodward first published in 1902.[7] Percy Dearmer also translated the hymn for inclusion in The Oxford Book of Carols (1928) as "Unto Us a Boy Is Born".Both translations are commonly used. 5 verses, all differnt instrumentation Arranged standard wind quintet.
