Swiss composer Carl Rütti readily combines polyphonic clarity with modern harmonic colors. In these three carols for SATB choir and organ, he cultivates the festive brilliance while prioritizing the clarity of the lines. The organ enhances dynamic contrasts and the breath of cadences, in the spirit of grand Christmas celebrations.
Each carol features idiomatic choral writing, exciting modulating progressions, and balanced textures. The suggested organ registration enriches the sonic palette, while the voices maintain a comfortable tessitura. A versatile collection suitable for religious services, concerts, and Advent-themed programs.
