Par COLERIDGE-TAYLOR SAMUEL. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor\'s Christmas Overture appeared posthumously in 1925. Originally orchestrated by Sydney Baynes, it features God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Hark the Herald Angels Sing. It is thought by some to have been put together from incidental music he wrote for a children\'s play called The Forest of Wild Thyme. This band arrangement, based on Baynes\' orchestra score, omits the largely developmental middle section of the original, shortening the performance time by two minutes, while retaining all of the traditional carol material. / Date parution : 2022-09-20/ Répertoire / 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.
