Orietur Stella (A star shall rise up)

Jacobus Gallus Carniolus, or Jacob Handl was a Slovene-born composer who spent much of his professional life serving the Viennese court during the height of the Renaissance. He represented the Bohemian Counter-Reformation, mixing the polyphonic style of the High Renaissance Franco-Flemish School with the style of the Venetian School. Orietur stella ex jacob (A star shall rise up out of Jacob) is one of his more than 300 sacred motets, suitable for both Advent and Christmas. Arranged here for brass quintet, it is a gem of Renaissance Christmas music, starting in four, switching to a faster three, and finishing again in four.
