The compositions of Guillaume Bouzignac (ca. 1587 to sometime after 1643) were important for the development of French sacred music before the time of Jean-Baptiste Lully. Nonetheless his work, surrounded by mystery, has survived in only four manuscripts containing only eleven motets which are ascribed by name to Bouzignac. The present edition contains four a cappella motets for the Christmas season. These are sacred stories, brief scenes, in which the soprano voice sings in dialog with the other voices of the choir.

“Welcome All!” is a jovial, wassaillike piece that welcomes everyone “to our Christmas feast”: the prophets, Elizabeth, John the Baptist, Anna, Simeon—even Herod!—and oh, all of us too! The choral writing has a bell-like quality, especially the clusters at the final climax. Definitely fun, and no other Christmas song like it! .

This hymn-anthem tells the astounding story of the God who is revered by all of creation- earth, sea, and sky- choosing Mary to be the mother of the Savior. The mixed meters employed for the 6th-century poetry are anything but jarring, and the middle stanza is set to different music with a medieval feel that accentuates the repetition of the word blest to describe Mary's destiny. A delightful but substantial anthem useful for Marian feasts as well as Christmastide. The keyboard part works well on both organ and piano. Congregational participation is welcome but not required; reprint material is included.
