The first CD of this album is devoted to a musical evocation of the principal events of the Christmas story, from the Annunciation to Christ's Presentation in the Temple.   The second CD comprises the reconstitution of a Christmas High Mass with Hieronymus Praetorius, Missa Angelus ad Pastores ait as its base.   The narration of the Nativity is taken from Thomas Selle's Christmas Oratorio for this occasion.
