Andrew Carter's electric fanfare Hodie Christus natus est internalizes its fine (original) text so that the words give life to the music. This is Grand Premier Cru, vintage Oxford University Press cathedral music in the distinguished lineage of Britten's Jubilate and Mathias's Let the People Praise Thee. * Journal of American Anglican Musicians * Carter's music is attractive, rhythmic, and harmonically interesting without being dissonant . . . A delightful short setting and highly recommended. * Diapason (USA) *
