Ich Weiss ein Httlein

This song has three stanzas and describes the modest though grateful family life of the infant Jesus with his parents Mary and Joseph. The choral melody is four-part and can be performed harmoniously by a quartet. The score has however been arranged for large orchestra. So, it is possible to realize the most varied sound combinations between woodwind and brass groups, even without singing. All percussion instruments can be used 'ad libitum'. The text can be sung as four-part choir singing or by one solo voice with accompaniment of winds. A simple piano score has been added for singing rehearsals or small scale performances.
