A popular holiday favorite performed and recorded by today's top artists including Luciano Pavarotti, this new arrangement is flowing and makes good use of the shifting tonalities of the beautiful piece. The warm harmonies and exquisite lyricism will make.Gesu Bambino is the most recognized composition by Italian composer Pietro A. Yon (1886-1943). A respected concert organist, Yon was organist at the Vatican as well as St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City from 1926 through 1943.We begin with a gently flowing rhythmic pattern in the celli which establishes the 12/8 meter. Throughout the piece Yon uses the traditional Christmas carol O, Come All Ye Faithful as a countermelody. This first occurs with a short quote when the second violins enter in measure 3. The first violins entire in the pick-up to measure 5 with Yon's main melody. Careful attention to dynamics should be paid throughout, but especially in cases such as measure 9-10 where they change dramatically from piano to forte. The pick-up to measure 14 has the viole and celli playing the O, Come All Ye Faithful countermelody through measure 21. This occurs again in the first violins with the pick-up to measure 32. Make full use of the crescendo in measure 53. Played with warmth and reverence, this will be an effective showcase for the orchestra.- Roy Phillippe.

Lyrical, direct, and exhibiting a masterful understanding of vocal writing, Carl Vine's secular cantata for soprano and strings, The Tree of Man, is a gift to audience and musicians alike. The 11-minute work, written in 2012 for the Australian Chamber Orchestra and soprano Daniele de Niese, is based on a passage from a novel of the same name by the Nobel Prize-winning author Patrick White. Vine knew White personally (having written music for several of his stage plays in the 1980s), and his setting perfectly complements the simplicity and sincerity of the prose. The music moves in an arc from its quietly insistent beginnings and rhapsodic central section to a haunting conclusion, where the brooding opening returns before evaporating into the air . . .
