At the Dresden Court a "motetto pastorale" replaced the offertorium at the Christmas Masses, between the Credo and the Sanctus. The present work "O admirabile mysterium" is distinguished by its scoring, unusual for Ristori, for two soprano and two alto voices. The association with Arcadian pastoral music, a principal element of Italian nativity scenes, is emphasized by the use of flutes and oboes. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.2740400.
