This setting of 'O Holy Night' and 'Silent Night' beautifully re-imagines the coloristic possibilities of two Christmas favorites. The arrangement pays respect to the traditional melodies, and especially follows the dramatic contours of Adolphe Adam's 'O Holy Night,' while using original and intriguing harmonic choices. A lovely and memorable addition to your holiday season concert program. (3:30) / Concert Band

Richard gives us a reverent and creatively arranged version of Silent Night. This work starts in a minor setting then gradually moves to a more traditional presentation of the carol with some subtle harmonic twists. Very effective!

‘Christmas Colours’ is a palette consisting of several Christmas songs. Bruce Fraser has mainly used the colours green (the colour of holly) and white (the colour of snow). This composition begins with the chiming of festive bells - if you listen well however you can already hear short fragments from 'The Holly and the Ivy' whose entire melody is finally played alternated with 'The Sussex Carol'. After this the pace slows down and the stately 'See amid the Winter Snow' sounds but parts from 'Jingle Bells' and 'Silent Night' can also be heard. Then after walking under 'The Holly and the Ivy' once again the celebration of Christmas may begin!

Eric includes three traditional carols: Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Silent Night and Joy To The World in a medley for holiday programming.

Based on the poems by German poet Carl Hauptmann (late Romanticism) and the English poet William Wordsworth (early Romanticism). Carl Hauptmann was in poor health as a child but highly intelligent. He studied philosophy psychology and biology. In the latter he was admitted to the degree of doctor. His marriage provided financial independence so that he could focus on his studies. Hauptmann wrote various novels plays poetry and scientific works. Night Twilight floats above the valley's night mists are hanging there's a whispering brook. Now the covering veil is lifting quite: come and look! See the magicland before our gaze: tall as dreams the silver mountains stand crossed by silent silver paths shining from a secret land. Noble pure the dreaming country sleeps. By the path the shadow black and hogh of a beach. a wisp of a white smoke creeps to the dark'ning sky. Where the valley is the darkest hued countless little lights shine silently. O my soul! Drink of solitude! Carl Hauptmann Wordsworth 'introduced' a new type of poetry based on the speech of the common man. This was his answer to the poetry of the classicism which was bound by rigid rules. His definition of poetry was: the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings from emotions recollected in tranquility. My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began. So is it now I am a man. So be it when I shall grow old Or let me die! The Child is father of the Man. And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety. William Wordsworth In a truly poetic manner Harrie Janssen has transformed the contemplative thoughts of the poets into two compositions for Concert Band.

« La plupart des traditions de Noël en Angleterre sont relativement récentes. Montée sur le trône en 1837 la reine Victoria (née de Hanovre) régnera jusqu?à sa mort en 1901. En 1840 elle épousa son cousin le prince Albert de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha. Leprince consort originaire d?Allemagne importa bon nombre de traditions de Noël allemandes au Royaume-Uni. Ainsi il fit découvrir aux Anglais la coutume du sapin et les cartes de Noël entre autres contribuant largement au Noël typiquement anglaistel que nous le connaissons aujourd?hui.Bien que les chants de Noël font l?objet d?une longue tradition en Angleterre de nombreuses mélodies que nous chantons proviennent ducontinent européen ou des États-Unis. Je savais bien que le célébrissimeSilent Night (Douce nuit) était d?origine autrichienne et que Hark the Herald Angels Sing (Écoutez le chant des Anges) était d?origine allemande. Pourtant quelle ne fut pas ma surprise d?apprendre qu?Away in a Manger (Sur la paillefraîche) ou encore We Three Kings nous venaient des États-Unis et que Ding Dong Merrily on High était un noël d?origine française. Quoiqu?il en soit j?ai réussi à constituer un canevas de mélodies anglaises pour réaliser cefestival de chants de Noël. »Philip SparkeRemarques sur l?interprétation : Cet arrangement est adapté pour une interprétation avec ou sans Ch?ur.
