Imagine if you can the north pole where Santa keeps all of his reindeer. Someone, whether Santa himself or the elves in his employ, has to keep them fed, warm, and happy if they are to do the impossible again in a year's time. Old St. Nicholas Had a Farm has some fun with this idea by mashing up the classic song Old MacDonald with popular Christmas Carols. Using only the first six notes of the Bb scale and only two repeated eighth notes as the most challenging rhythm, students will feel comfortable playing the sound of sleigh bells, the crack of Santa's whip, and the thunder of reindeer hoofs. This piece will make a perfect addition to your next holiday concert and audiences will delight in participating.

Already one of the most popular choral settings in the Carl Fischer Music catalog, Michael John Trotta's setting of Veni, Veni Emmanuel has now been skillfully transcribed by James Meredith for band. Trotta's setting of this seminal carol juxtaposes the old and new together in a refreshingly different approach to the song. The piece can work with band alone or with the popular choral setting. It is sophisticated enough for high school groups to put together quickly and can also work well with middle school groups.
This piece was conceived as a dialogue between the supplicants and the creator, a combination of old and new, juxtaposing a personal longing for something still to come, with the steadfast assurance of something ever-present yet not always seen. While the original theme is associated with the Christmas season, the wider theme of longing for something greater is universal to the human condition and allows this piece to be programmed throughout the year.This work may be performed with SATB Voices (published by Carl Fischer Music, CM9418).

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 2

SKU: BT.CMP-0075-96-010

Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Alfred Reed. Young Band. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1996. Curnow Music #CMP 0075-96-010. Published by Curnow Music (BT.CMP-0075-96-010).

This Christmas carol of ancient European origin begins O Sanctissima and was intended as a tribute to the virgin Mary. A 19th-century translation by Falk gave us the words O How Joyfully that are typically associated with this carol. In addition to its colorful history, this carol has a very warm and expressive character. In this setting by Alfred Reed, the lilting melody is interwoven with a heroic trumpet counter-melody.

Das Weihnachtslied O du fröhliche ist sehr alt und war ursprünglich einmal ein Lied zu Ehren der Jungfrau Maria. Sein warmherziger und ausdrucksvoller Charakter machen es bis heute zu einem der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Lieder der Weihnachtszeit. Alfred Reed verwob in seiner Bearbeitung die fröhliche Melodie mit einer heroischen Trompeten-Gegenstimme und schuf so einen einfachen, aber wirkungsvollen Programmpunkt für das nächste Weihnachtskonzert.

O du fröhliche (Ô nuit bienveillante) est un des plus célèbres noëls allemands. Sa mélodie s’inspire d’un air traditionnel sicilien qui accompagne la prière O Sanctissima, une prière chantée et dédiée la Vierge Marie. En 1816, Johannes Daniel Falk écrit un texte allemand. C’est désormais sous la forme d’un chant de Noël que la prière effectuera le tour du monde. La version d’Alfred Reed reste fidèle la beauté du thème original.

A delightful medley of three Angel carols that builds to an exciting finish topped by an optional descant trumpet (only goes up to a written G). Carols included are Angels We Have Heard On High, Hark The Herald Angels Sing, and Angels From The Realms of Glory. Features a beautiful brass chorale and since it is well cued, it can be performed successfully even with small bands. Very impressive sound that will be a highlight of any holiday performance!
