'''Description:''' An unusual, four-part 15th-century Christmas Lied from the Nicholas Apel Codex (c.1500) with a <i>cantus firmus</i> in the Tenor, against a melodic phrase, set initially in imitation, in the other three voices. Throughout the piece, the melody is repeated in the upper two voices with rhythmic and slight melodic variation. While there is little harmonic motion, the piece beautifully develops tension throughout until the conclusion. The vocal lines have long, extended melismae on single syllables, typical of the period. | '''Description:''' An unusual, four-part 15th-century Christmas Lied from the Nicholas Apel Codex (c.1500) with a <i>cantus firmus</i> in the Tenor, against a melodic phrase, set initially in imitation, in the other three voices.
