Today’s Beautiful Music is a buoyant Christmas cantata by Christophe Graupner. He composed his sacred work, Jauchzet ihr Himmel erfreue dich Erde (Rejoice Heaven and Earth), in 1753. Graupner was one of the runners-up for the Cantor job in Leipzig eventually given to Johann Sebastian Bach. I hope you enjoy this lovely seasonal work.
