The quaint, Tyrolean Christmas drama sung in Latin would make the perfect prelude for a Christmas Eve liturgy. Low male voices (the shepherds) traversing to Bethlehem meet the treble voices exclaiming, “Glory to God in the highest,” and then combine in a gently rollicking scene at the crib of the Infant. Pure charm! Parts for strings, winds, and a pair of horns are available separately and would add greatly to this cultural German fare.
