Jan Hadermann has created an exquisite retelling of the Christmas story with four traditional Flemish Christmas carols. Met was een maged uitverkoren (a young maiden was chosen) is followed by Maria, die zoude naar Bethlehem gaan (Maria, who should go to Bethlehem). The night in the stable is represented by in 0 kerstnacht, schoner dan de dagen (0 Christmas night, more beautifuithan the days). After the arrival of the Three Wise Men in Wij komen van Oosten (we come from the east), the piece builds to a festive climax with a reprise of the chorale from the third section.
