Selegra Jerusalem (Freue dich Jerusalem / Rejoice Jerusalem)

This original composition for band is notable for its dominant, fanfare-like melody, which constitutes the main part of the work. Due to its simple and singable melodic line it closely resembles the form of a hymn.

The Romanic word selegra can be translated as be joyful, which means that we should be glad at the birth of our redeemer.
