Franz Gruber's beloved Christmas carol, Silent Night, receives a unique treatment for strings. The tune is heard twice. The first time, it is paired with a motive from the Prelude of J. S. Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 (BWV 1007); the second time, the melody shifts from part to part, giving everyone a chance to shine. Richly scored, warm and embracing, a real audience pleaser for your December concerts. (3:00) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Gloomy Winter's Noo Awa'. Composed by Scottish Folk Song. Arranged by Seth Bedford. Full score. 8 pages. Duration 2 minutes, 32 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #YAS225F. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.YAS225F).

ISBN 9781491163078. UPC: 680160921829. Key: A minor.

This plaintive Scottish tune was used extensively by Michael Nyman in his score for Jane Campion's film, The Piano. This arrangement offers young players an entrée into the rich breadth of Scottish folk music with a lilting dotted melody that is fun to play. With pizzicato and staccato accompaniments, this lyrical melody is passed around to every section of the orchestra. The lyrics tell of winter’s end giving way to bright flowers of spring, which the singer compares to his darling loved one. While playable in first position, more advanced students may practice playing in higher positions with ringing vibrato.

Trilogie sacree. Composed by Hector Berlioz. Edited by Paul Prevost. French Sacred Music. Organ. Sacred vocal music, Oratorios, Christmas. Single Part, Organ. Op. 25. 2 pages. Duration 95 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 70.038/49. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.7003849).

ISBN 9790007227531. Key: E minor. Language: German/French.

The history of the composition of the oratorio is odd: the kernel of this three-part work were the movements from the middle section, the Flight to Egypt, which Berlioz composed on a whim in 1850 and which he passed off as the work of a baroque composer whose existence he himself had invented. In 1854 the triptych, which was completed with the parts entitled The dream of Herodes and The arrival at Sais, had its celebrated first performance. Starting from the Gospel of St. Matthew, with the visit of the astrologer to Herodes and the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt, Berlioz chose to relate the story of the events of Christmas from another angle. This skillful dramatisation, with impressive instrumental sections, such as the independent trio for two flutes and harp as well as the effective choruses with local color, make this sacred trilogy a grateful enrichment of the repertoire for Christmas music.

ISBN 9790007227937. Key: B flat major. Language: Latin.

In contrast to his earlier short church works, some of which rely stylistically on baroque and classical models, in this work Schubert has discovered his own personal and romantically coloured church music idiom. Elements of this new church style include iteration which creates atmosphere, the subtle introduction of wind instrument, and sounds which die away to nothing, an effect which Schubert also employed in the Mass in E flat. Score and part available separately - see item CA.7004600.

ISBN 9781491165232. UPC: 680160924141. Key: D major.

This Grade 1.5 piece mainly uses staccato articulations to depict the celestial twinkling of stars stars in the night sky. In bright D major, players get to explore the dance-like feeling of 3/4 time with a few new notes on the violin E string. A contrasting lyrical section presents a legato theme with easy slurs and beautiful harmonies between the sections. The sparkling piece ends with a return to the light opening motif, ending softly like the fading stars at dawn.

Carol of the Bells is a holiday tune that my students request year after year, particularly my beginning players. I wrote this arrangement with the goal of creating something that was well within the reach of beginning players--with simple notes and rhythms, and in a range where they could produce good tone and intonation. The addition of We Three Kings makes it a little more interesting for the player and the listener. I hope your students enjoy this arrangement!

Goethe's dramatic ballad The First Walpurgis Night inspired Mendelssohn to write a magnificent and vivid portrayal of the conflict between an old heathen community and the new aspirations of Christianization, between belief and superstition on both sides. In 1833 Mendelssohn had his ballad premiered, but he decided to make far-reaching revisions before he finally had the work published in 1844. The Carus edition by the leading Mendelssohn scholar R. Larry Todd is based on the first printed edition of the score and thus the last authentic version of the work. This important choral work by Mendelssohn is now available in a modern Urtext edition, with full score (in two languages), vocal score, choral score and orchestral material available on sale, as well as a CD recording by the Kammerchor Stuttgart conducted by Frieder Bernius (planned for autumn 2019). Score and part available separately - see item CA.4013800.
