One of the most magnificent in the world, the 4-day Christmas Festival at Decorah, IA's Luther College features the 85-member Symphony Orchestra and hundreds of talented members of Luther's Nordic Choir, Pike Kor, Cathedral Choir, Norsemen and Cantorei singing 20 beautiful pieces. From the orchestrally-accompanied 'Gracious Spirit Dwell With Me' and Dominik Argento's 'Hodie, Christus Natus Est' to the dramatic a cappella 'Hodie, Christus Natus Est' and the traditional carols 'The First Noel,' 'Angels We Have Heard on High' and 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing;' to the rarely heard 'Little Lamb,' 'Choral Fanfare for Christmas,' 'O Nata Lux,' 'O Come Little Children' and Eric Whitacre's 'Lum Aurumque,' this is a joyous and memorable Christmas CD. The wonderful a cappella 'Natus est Emmanuel' (a glee of angels at the Birth), was written by Libby Larsen for the celebration.
