This is a recording of Lassus' Lectiones matutinae de nativitas Christi (1573-75) and Responsoria in Nativitate Domini (1585-1590), set in their liturgical context as the first nocturn for Christmas matins.

This recording, although on a new label, is clearly a second volume to this ensemble's Lassus project beginning with the Lessons on Job.
