The festive concerti by Italian composers Locatelli, Manfredini, and Torelli, alongside Albinoni's delicate Adagio, are Christmas staples not only in Italy but also in Austria. Michael Haydn composed over thirty masses, including the Missa Sancti Aloysii and the Missa Sancti Leopoldi. Tomás Luis de Victoria's motet and Zoltán Kodály's "The Angels and the Shepherds" complete the program. Cellist Manuel Fischer-Dieskau's new composition, "He Who Sits on the Throne Laughs," is dedicated to Franz Xaver Ohnesorg.
