Throughout the centuries, sacred polyphony has played a key role in expressing the deep spiritual meaning of Advent and Christmas. Polyphony — the intertwining of independent vocal lines — became one of the most profound ways composers could reflect the theological mystery of the Incarnation.
During Advent, polyphonic motets often take on a meditative and expectant tone, echoing the ancient longing for the Messiah. The texts frequently draw from Scripture, such as "Rorate caeli desuper" or "Ad te levavi animam meam", offering prayerful anticipation.
As Christmas arrives, the music turns luminous, celebrating the birth of Christ with joyful harmonies and rich counterpoint. Motets such as "Verbum caro factum est" proclaim the mystery of God made flesh with awe and splendor.
