Added by magataganm, 24 Dec 2017 For some families at Christmas, the perfect musical-ness is epitomized by one particular piece—the German Christmas Song: The German Christmas Song (actually titled “Von Himmel Hoch Da Komm Ich Her: Weihnachtsfantasie für Klavier,” by Ferdinand Keller) is a medley of carols many of us grew up playing on the piano. As kids, the octave tremolo in the intro marked the maturation of their handspan. The full keyboard run in the finale highlighted the youth's developing technique. Little is know about both the composer and this arrangement penned in the latter part of the 19th century. The arrangement is old. I researched Ferdinand Keller and the publisher Robert Lienau and they’re both from the 19th century. Although originally composed for Solo Piano, I created this interpretation for String Quintet (2 Violins, Viola, Cello & Bass). |
