2017 Holiday Contest Entry


This arrangement of five traditional Israeli folk songs and Jewish holiday music will put you in the mood to celebrate! The first flutes are featured prominently in this arrangement. Each part takes a turn carrying the tune, with rich harmonies and driving rhythms enhancing the melodies. The medley begins exuberantly in the key of concert d minor, moves joyfully to the relative F Major, then finishes boisterously back in d minor. I have included a version of the alto flute part transposed for C flute in case you don't have an alto flute available.

Songs featured are:

� Hevaynu Shalom Alaychem (We Brought Peace Unto You)

� Maoz Tsur (Rock of Ages)

� Artsa Alinu (We Have Come to the Land)

� Chanukah

� Yibane Amenu (In Our Land We Shall Rebuild Our Nation)



I hope you will enjoy performing this medley as much as I have enjoyed arranging it! Audiences are sure to love it. This would work well in a variety of venues:school concert, synagogue, shopping mall background music, chamber music concert, prelude to a concert, etc. It?s perfect for anywhere you want to lift people?s spirits with energetic, familiar seasonal and folk music. Duration is approximately 3.5 min. L?chaim!

Here are SIX Advent and Christmas favorites (with a bonus Seventh work!) in one useful set. These are creative arrangements that feature these holiday melodies in easily recognizable fashion, but with new and updated versions. The tunes included are:
Veni Emmanuel (O Come, O Come, Emmanuel)
Puer Nobis Nascitur (On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry, or Come Thou Redeemer of the Earth)
Greensleeves (What Child Is This?)
In Dulci Jubilo (Now Sing We, Now Rejoice)
Personent Hodie (On This Day, Earth Shall Ring)
Cantique De Noel (O Holy Night)
Bonus: Picardy (Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence), for trombone (or baritone, trumpet) and organ

Each of these works is available separately here, and full recordings and videos are also on this website, or on my YouTube channel of "OrganGuyPhil".

I hope you enjoy these seasonal favorites!
