For years, Essen's Philharmonic Hall hosts a children's "Christmas Oratorio." Michael Gusenbauer adapted Bach's work, weaving familiar passages into the Christmas story. Vivid musical examples explain instruments to children, linking specific music with text sections. Recitatives, arias, and chorales characterize figures, culminating in trumpets and timpani inviting everyone to "rejoice."
