◄ Ihr Kinderlein kommet
► Leise rieselt der Schnee
8. Vom Himmel hoch, ihr Englein kommt
(Paderborn, 1617)
As opposed to the statement in the text there is no „piping and trombing” of a big orchestra;
the more intimate sound of an organ trio (including prelude) casts a more meditative „light” on
this melody – after all the baby might need some sleep.
