This pastoral composition of Austrian origin depicts the announcement to a shepherd of the birth of Christ. In addition, the song of praise of an angel “Gloria in excelsis Deo” is sung. This is a short, easily performed work which is best suited to music for the Christmas Gospel or for the offertory at Christmas.
