Mr Hassler should be better known - his stuff is splendid.

Our choir also sings his Dixit Maria, suitable for the Annunciation, Advent or Christmas. "Then said Mary to the angel (in some versions, "Gabriel"): Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to thy word."

The fun thing about following the score is that you can see the imitation happening across the parts . . . I really like YouTube . . . sometimes.

Another great tune from Hassler. Yes, he should be better known--I had never heard of him until I read this thread. A short biography of him can be found here.
