In the tradition of Daniel Pinkham ™s Christmas Cantata, Kevin Siegfried ™s Vidimus stellam (We Have Seen His Star) is a radiant and uplifting work for SATB Chorus and Brass Quintet or Organ. Using traditional Latin texts drawn from Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, Vidimus stellam evocatively traces the theme of Light through the Christmas season. In the choral parts, an expressive lyricism predominates, revealing Siegfried ™s affinity for chant and early music. A balance between accessibility and challenge is maintained throughout. The brass quintet writing is richly varied and creatively interwoven through the score, at times powerful and majestic,playful and jubilant, atmospheric and coloristic.
