This energetic overture allows us to enjoy the sparkling skyline of Miami, also known as the Magic City, from a speedboat on Biscayne Bay. A visit to the gardens of Vizcaya is represented by an elegant Danzon. The opening tempo returns with a nod to Miami's vibrant nightlife before taking us to our boat for the short trip home.

Double Bass Quartet - Grade 8

SKU: BT.YE0075

Arranged by Robert Rohe. Classical. Set (Score and Parts). Yorke Edition #YE0075. Published by Yorke Edition (BT.YE0075).

Four Double Basses. Eight well-known Christmas carols in a new guise. Score and parts.

The Programme of Christmas Carols was first performed in New Orleans in 1976. In its original version, the players were required to wear Dickensian costume and a seasonal narrative preceded each of the carol arrangements. The texts appear below.

Duration without text: c.20 minutes
Duration with text: c.45 minutes

Introduc tion by Robert Rohe

The introductory text, assembled with the kind assistance of Father Peacock of Loyola University of New Orleans, was designed for use where the receptivity of the audience warrants. So little is known about thebeloved Christmas carols, it is fitting that a brief sketch of the carols' past be used to enhance the familiar music.

If desired, the introductory text may be omitted at the discretion of the performers.

The brief text preceding each carol should be used to acquaint the audience with what to expect, from a quartet that will be playing the unexpected. The text also will pace the program and will extend performance time to around 45 minutes.

In performance, the bass viol quartet of New Orleans wore peaked caps, and turtle necked sweaters to simulate the street performers of Dickens' time. The choice of four string basses for this program was to bring the closest relatives of the true viol into play.

History and development of the Christmas Carol

The celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ has been observed for nearly 2,000 years, through the ritual of the Christian Church, with part of that ritual being devoted to celebration in song. In those early days, church music was sung only, no musical instruments taking part in the service.

The type of song used by the church had the name 'plain-song'. It was a single line of melody, plain and unadorned, sung by one or more voices. By the year 1660 A.D., it had developed a second name, 'The Gregorian Chant', after Pope Gregory, who encouraged the use.

German composer, Wilhelm Ramsoe (1837-1895) is best remembered for his compositions for brass. His Quartet No. 4 for Cornet, Trumpet, Trombone or Horn, and Baritone is no exception. As one of five brass quartets by the composer, Quartet No. 4 remains prominent in the brass ensemble repertoire. Made up of three movements, each part contains a variety of exciting musical features. The movements are 1) Allegro Moderato, 2) Marcia Funebre, and 3) Scherzo, all of which contain edits by Robert King. For all intermediate to advanced brass ensembles, Ramsoe's Quartet No. 4 is a sublime addition to the repertoire..

From the mountains in the west (high country) to the Atlantic coast in the east (low country), the mid-Atlantic region epitomizes geographic and cultural beauty that is uniquely American and decidedly Carolinian. A brilliant addition to your next concert or festival performance.
