As the title suggests in Christmas Bells, bells play the leading part. This medley begins with bell chiming on the CD (this comes with the set), after which the band come in with a solid chord. During the short introduction, the bells still sound in the background. Following this sparkling introduction three well-known Christmas melodies are heard. Roland Kernen chose Kling Glöckchen klingelingeling, SüÃ?er die Glocken nie klingen and, of course, Jingle Bells! A fantasic work to end any Christmas concert.In Christmas Bells spelen klokken de hoofdrol. Deze medley begint met klokgelui op de cd, waarna het orkest inzet met een stevig akkoord.

Roland Kernen koos voor Kling klokje, klingelingeling, SüÃ?er die Glocken nie klingen en natuurlijk Jingle Bells!Weihnachten und Glockenklang sind untrennbar miteinander verknüpft - die groÃ?en Glocken der Kirchtürme erschallen weithin, während zu Hause drinnen und drauÃ?en zu Weihnachten gern mit kleinen Glöckchen geschmückt wird. Daher wählte sich André Waignein das Thema Glocken zum Motto seines bezaubernden neuen Weihnachtslieder- Medleys aus drei allseits bekannten Weihnachtsliedern. Comme son titre le suggère, les cloches constituent lâ??élément central de cette pièce festive. Christmas Bells (Les cloches de Noël) sâ??ouvre avec un carillon de cloches dâ??église (enregistré sur le CD joint cette édition). Lâ??Orchestre dâ??Harmonie entre sur un accord puissant puis développe une courte introduction tandis que le carillon résonne en fond sonore. Les trois noëls sont alors exposés tour tour. Roland Kernen a choisi de rassembler les deux noëls allemands, Kling Glöckchen klingelingeling et SüÃ?er die Glocken nie klingen, et lâ??incontournable Jingle Bells.Come suggerisce il titolo, le campane costituiscono lâ??elemento centrale di questo brano festivo. Il medley si apre con un carillon di campane di chiesa (inciso sul CD accluso al set per banda). La banda entra su un potente accordo per poi sviluppare una breve introduzione, mentre il carillon risuona sullo sfondo. Roland Kernen ha deciso di raccogliere due canti natalizi tedeschi Kling Glöckchen klingelingeling, Süsser die Glocken nie klingen e lâ??immancabile Jingle Bells.

Program Notes Elephant is, of course, inspired by the incredible mammals of the same name. Their column-like legs, long trunks, and massive presence will never cease to amaze; however, it's their trumpeting that makes them stand out as the instrumentalists of the animal kingdom! In this selection, an elephant's slow gate and general demeanor are represented by a methodical tempo and lumbering texture. Woodwinds will enjoy the opportunity to perform grace notes while Elephant also offers exposure to flams for young percussionists. At m. 33 the trumpets and horns recreate an elephant call after slipping brown paper bags, or lunch-bag mutes, over their bells (in their bells for horn players). For the trumpet players, the mutes can be enhanced with an additional balled-up piece of paper placed at the bottom of the bag prior to slipping it over the bell. Horns should ball up the bag itself and experiment with placement to create the most realistic tones without stopping the instrument. While specific pitches are noted, making the best elephant sounds should prioritized. Young students always look forward to experimenting with mutes, and this selection offers an inexpensive and creative way to do so at a young age. Note to the Conductor This piece can be used to introduce or reinforce the finer points of staccato playing. While many students know to play these notes short in length, they may need reminding that they should also be played lightly. This also may allow for opportunities in emphasizing contrasting articulation styles that are in this piece. Younger students will likely need a reasonable amount of practice in successfully using the lunch-bag mutes. Allowing additional rehearsal time for this is recommended.Program Notes Elephant is, of course, inspired by the incredible mammals of the same name.

“The idea behind this song is to remind everyone, for all those who have forgotten, how colourful and exciting Christmas was during their childhood. Christmas is a magical time and, after all, no matter how old we are, we are all still children at heart.†These words were written by Chris de Burgh about his 2009 hit, The Bells of Christmas, inspired by Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Simon Fahnholz has now made an excellent version of this Christmas hit for concert band.Voor iedereen die vergeten is hoe bont en levendig de kerst in zijn jeugdjaren was. Kerst is een betoverend feest. Diep in ons hart zijn we allemaal nog kinderen, ook al zijn we al lang volwassenen.†Dit zei Chris de Burgh over zijnkersthit van 2009 waarin hij zich liet inspireren door de prachtige kerstverhalen van Charles Dickens.Die Idee dieses Songs ist, allen die vergessen haben, wie bunt und lebendig Weihnachten in ihrer Kinderzeit war, dies noch einmal vor Augen zu führen. Weihnachten ist ein Zauber und wir sind im tiefsten Herzen doch alle große Kinder, auch wenn wir längst erwachsen sind.“ Dies sind Chris De Burghs Worte über seinen Weihnachts-Hit von 2009, zu dem er sich von Charles’ Dickens Weihnachtsgeschichte inspirieren ließ. « Le message de cette chanson, en fait, est de rappeler ceux qui l’aurait oublié, que Noël était, du temps de leur enfance, une fête chatoyante et vivante. Au plus profond de nous-même, et même si nous avons grandi et que nous soyons devenus des adultes, nous avons gardé notre coeur d’enfant, alors n’oublions pas que Noël est une fête magique. » Voici un aperçu des paroles de la célèbre ballade The Bells of Christmas (inspirée de l’illustre roman de Charles Dickens), chantée par Chris de Burgh en 2009.“Il messaggio di questa canzone è di ricordare a coloro che l’avessero dimenticato, com’era il Natale quando erano bambini, una festa vivace e calda. Anche se siamo cresciuti e divenuti adulti, abbiamo mantenuto il cuore di bambini, non dimentichiamo allora che il Natale è una festa magicaâ€. Ecco un estratto del testo della ballata The Bells of Christmas, divenuta un grande successo del Natale 2009 e cantata da Chris de Burgh che si era ispirato al celebre romanzo di Charles Dickens.

A mother's love is boundless, never-ending, gentle, and caressing. Written upon the passing of the composer's mother, this composition opens with a pure and simple melodic statement that later opens into the warmth of the full ensemble sound, much like the comfort of a mother's embrace. The opening interval of the minor third is often heard by a child calling mom-my, and the piece closes with the bells playing this motive. The composer dedicates this piece to the memory of his mother, who always believed in his hopes and dreams.

The classic holiday favorite by Al Stillman and Robert Allen is presented here in a playable arrangement for concert band. It is my hope that this arrangement will be equally satisfying for the young band with ample rehearsal time or for the more mature band that wants a holiday favorite they can perform with limited rehearsal. The piece is presented first in a lush chorale format with the use of extended jazz harmonies. Special care should be given to balancing and tuning the inner voices for the most pleasant sound. After the lush opening on the famous refrain the arrangement moves to the bridge in an up-tempo swing. In this section the percussion is written to imitate a drum set, but if a set is available it may be preferable to use it in order to get the right feel. Following the bridge is another statement of the refrain followed by a hymn-style section by the reeds with jazz interjections by the brass straight out of the famous Perry Como rendition. This is followed by a D.S. to the bridge, one more refrain and then a short coda It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this arrangement. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program. -LARRY CLARK New York, NY 2003.The classic holiday favorite by Al Stillman and Robert Allen is presented here in a playable arrangement for concert band.
