The tradition of the Christmas tree in Western Europe dates back to a time long before any Christianization had taken place. During the severely cold winter nights so it was believed evil spirits tried to 'kill' nature. Needle-leaved trees were the only ones which kept their green colour throughout the year and therefore became symbols of immortality. These 'living' trees said to be the work of benign spirits were brought into people's houses to ward off evil life-threatening powers. In the 14th century people first started to decorate Christmas trees. It was a pagan custom originated by the inhabitants of Alsace. This custom was taken over by the Church inthe course of the 15th and 16th century. At first the decoration consisted mainly of edibles such as apples and wafers but later small presents were added. Legend has it that the reformer Martin Luther was the first person to decorate a Christmas tree with candles. The flickering candle flames were meant to create the image of a starry sky in which Christ's apparition could be recognized. The German organ-player Ernst Anschütz from Leipzig was the first person to notate the song 'O Tannenbaum' the melody being a well-known folk song. Next to 'Stille Nacht' 'O Tannenbaum' is the most famous German Christmas song now known throughout the world. In the United States of America the melody of 'O Tannenbaum' has even been used in four States (among which the State of Maryland) for their State song. In David Well's arrangement the song is first heard as many of us know it. After this introduction however it is transformed into a solid rock version and the beat has been changed. In the second part the familiar three-four time is back but here the rhythm is different from the original. After the richly ornamented rock beat the basic theme can be heard once again and the composition is concluded in a festive manner.

Of Skies Rivers Lakes and Mountains est une commande de la Northern California...(+)
Of Skies Rivers Lakes and Mountains est une commande de la Northern California Band Directors' Association pour marquer son 50e anniversaire en 2012. Cette œuvre a été créée par le Honor Band 2012 de l?Association sous la direction du Dr Royce Trevis au théâtre Harlen Adams de l?université de Californie à Chico Californie le 4 février de cette même année.La commande stipulait que la pièce devait célébrer les ressources naturelles des États-Unis. Le compositeur Philip Sparke s?est donc inspiré des paroles de Katharine Lee Bates pour la chanson America the Beautiful dont voici les premier et dernier couplets :O beautiful for spacious skies For amberwaves of grain For purple mountain majestiesAbove the fruited plain!(Oh belle pour tes vastes cieux Tes vagues de grains ambrés La majesté de tes montagnes violettesDominant des plaines fruitées !)America! America!God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhoodFrom sea to shining sea(Amérique ! Amérique !Dieu t?a donné sa grâceCouronnée de la fraternité des hommesDe la mer à la mer étincelante)Les trois mouvements empruntent chacun leur titre à ces couplets :1. O Beautiful for Spacious Skies: S?ouvrant avec des figures en filigrane jouées par les bois ce mouvement cherche à recréer la lumière et la légèreté d?un ciel printanier d?oiseaux et de fleurs flottant au gré d?une douce brise.2. From Sea to Shining Sea: Plein de vivacité ce mouvement évoque les frémissements de l?eau des ruisseaux des rivières et des lacs.3. For Purple Mountain Majesties:Le dernier mouvement lent et majestueux dépeint une impressionnante chaîne de montagnes.
