Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. An imaginative look at a good old-fashioned Christmas! From aromas of family favorites cooking in the kitchen, to the images of decorated trees, snow scenes, and caroling - all are a part of that wonderful celebration. Rather than just taking the same old Public Domain Christmas carols for one more go ‘round, Timothy Johnson has composed the majority of THREE HOLIDAY SCENES using fresh and original melodies. The first scene opens with fragments of “Oh Tannenbaum” but quickly moves into a beautiful Christmas waltz. An “effets de neige, ” or “Snowfall effect, ” carries the luscious second and contrasting scene. In the 3rd and final scene, the phrases from well-known carols mergewith one another, creating the effect of “caroling. ” Finally, melodies serve as counterpoint for one another and bring this delightful vignette to a close. This piece presents an excellent opportunity to work with the Art department in creating drawings and paintings of holiday images. Pull your chair a little closer to the fireplace and sit back for a winsome holiday treat! / Niveau : 2.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band

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

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. An energetic addition to your Christmas concert, the Holly Variations merges 'Deck the Hall with Boughs of Holly' (a duple-meter carol) with 'The Holly and the Ivy' (a triple-meter carol). This unlikely partnership sets the stage for some very interesting rhythmic effects as two strong and opposing meters struggle for dominance. As a striking opener or a 'contrast' piece, THE HOLLY VARIATIONS will add spice to your holiday performance. / Niveau : 2.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par BULLA STEPHEN. An endlessly effulgent offering, Stephan Bulla’s WINTERFEST is the perfect choice for making spirits bright at your next winter concert! Buoyant settings of five traditional carols include Hark The Herald Angels Sing, Ding Dong Merrily On High, The First Noel, While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks, and Angels From The Realms Of Glory. This is the kind of exciting Christmas medley that audiences long to hear when they attend a winter performance. WINTERFEST is filled with dynamic effects such as sudden shifts to opposite levels of volume. Lots of upper Woodwind action helps to assure that every player has an enjoyable and memorable experience in rehearsal andperformance. You won’t regret placing WINTERFEST in a key position at this year’s Christmas concert. It’s great fun for everyone! / Niveau : 4 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
