SYNOPSIS

 

“A prodigious mystery is revealed today. Natures are transformed. God is made man …” this is the beginning of Mirabile Mysterium, set to music by Jacobus Gallus from the section entitled ‘The Birth in Bethlehem’ which has given the subtitle to this Christmas programme for which Paul Van Nevel has made a very interesting selection of music ranging from the 14th to the 19th century, recorded at a church in Antwerp exclusively for the camera. The programme consists of ‘The Birth in Bethlehem’, ‘The Crime of Herodes’, ‘The Travel of the Three Kings’ and an Epilogue. Paul Van Nevel and his Huelgas have produced the ideal Christmas programme.
