This short orchestral piece is a tone poem based on a passage from one of Hans Christian Andersen's lesser known fairytales, THE WIND TELLS ABOUT WALDEMAR DAAE AND HIS DAUGHTERS, a mighty allegory about the transitoriness of Life, about Vanity and Pride and the inevitable victory of Death (alias the wind), whose scything ravaging is sublimely depicted by Andersen in these few, truly breathtaking lines: And Winter rushed, Winter and Summer they rushed, and they rush, like I rush, like the howling snow, the flurrying apple blossom, the scurrying foliage; rush! rush! The people too!.

The three Christmas tunes The Babe of Bethlehem, Jesus, Jesus, Rest Your Head, and Star in the East will carry you to the wind-swept, snow-covered Appalachian Mountains. Beautiful orchestral scoring will provide a full sound for any ensemble.

UPC: 038081518206. English. Traditional American.

Snowy hilltops, timeless family traditions, and the warmth of a hearth---the atmosphere of a Smoky Mountain Christmas is captured in this arrangement of three traditional Appalachian carols arranged by Andrew Dabcyznski. The simple modal melodies of Star of the East and Babe of Bethlehem are passed throughout the orchestra, before concluding with the stirring spiritual Rise Up Shepherd and Follow. The keys, meters, and bowings are all playable by second-year string students, but intermediate and advanced students also will find this to be a satisfying holiday concert piece. (3:30).
