As director of the Bavarian Radio Choir, Howard Arman has been actively engaged with international Christmas carols through various Christmas-related CD productions in the past years. This has resulted in a number of original arrangements for four- to eight-part mixed choir a cappella, shedding new light on well-known classics such as O du frohliche [O, you joyful], Stille Nacht [Silent Night] and Lasst uns froh und munter sein [Let us be happy and cheerful]. The first volume includes five Christmas carols from the German-speaking regions. They range from simple but harmonically intriguing settings such as Lieb Nachtigall, wach auf [Dear nightingale, wake up] to eight-part sound paintings with bell-like chimes as in O du frohliche and classical double choir settings such as Resonet in laudibus. The second volume includes five Christmas spirituals with English texts, forming a contrast to the solemn and festive character of the first. The choir can prove its swing and jazz qualities here; the stirring arrangements are a gain for classical Christmas concerts, too. Following the tradition of the spiritual, some settings also require soloists, which can, however, also be recruited from the choir if adequate singers are available. The first piece combines the spirituals It's a Birthday and Wasn't That a Mighty Day to form a medley, Ain't That a Rockin' gives a moment of tranquility before the likewise rousing spirituals Mary Had a Baby and Little David conclude the volume. In both volumes, Howard Arman provides a short preface in German and English, explaining the background of each piece and giving advice on performance.

Unter den zahlreichen kirchenmusikalischen Werken Mabellinis finden sich nur wenige für eine Chorbesetzung a cappella. Das hier als Erstdruck vorgelegte In gloria dei patris von 1869 stellt eine wirkliche Ausnahme dar, weil es als Albumblatt entstanden ist und wohl gar nicht für eine reale Aufführung geschaffen wurde. Die autographe Niederschrift dieser kontrapunktischen Miniatur findet sich im Musikalbum des italienischen Komponisten, Musikwissenschaftlers und Bibliothekars Francesco Florimo, welches zahlreiche musikalische Autographe von Zeitgenossen versammelt. Das Album versammelt auf mehr als 130 Blättern unterschiedlichste Eintragungen, von Skizzen zu längeren, fertig ausgearbeiteten Kompositionen verschiedenster Gattungen. So bescheiden Mabellinis kurzes Chorstück auf einen ersten Blick auch erscheinen mag - es steckt doch voll von höchster kontrapunktischer Kunst. Das Thema ist einfach, für den beabsichtigten Zweck aber äußerst zweckmäßig. Die Harmonisierung bleibt ebenfalls grundlegend und verlässt den Tonartenraum nicht. Sein Augenmerk hat Mabellini ganz auf die Form gelegt, war er doch als geschickter Kontrapunktiker bekannt und war das Albumblatt schließlich für einen Musiker gedacht, der sich an kontrapunktischen Künsten zu begeistern wusste. Möge das schöne, nicht allzu schwer einzustudierende und aufzuführende Stück seinen Platz im Musikleben unserer Zeit finden und sich alsbald zahlreiche Freunde gewinnen. Die Formgestalt der Fuge, die jeder interessierte Musiker in dieser Miniatur geradezu exemplarisch herauslesen kann, ist ein Erlebnis bereits auf dem reinen Notenpapier und erst recht im lebendigen Musizieren. (Guido Johannes Joerg).
