(Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland,
lyrics & melody: Bishop Ambrosius, ~ 340 − 397)


The Dorian-mode hymn from the 4th− century AD is subject to a modern interpretation, the choice and use of instruments raising associations to „pagan” rites.

In contrast to this an airy „music of the heavens” forms the middle section – yet all is derived from the same root.
