A popular
holiday favorite
performed and recorded by
today's top artists
including Luciano
Pavarotti, this new
arrangement is flowing
and makes good use of the
shifting tonalities of
the beautiful piece. The
warm harmonies and
exquisite lyricism will
make.
Gesu Bambino is
the most recognized
composition by Italian
composer Pietro A. Yon
(1886-1943). A respected
concert organist, Yon was
organist at the Vatican
as well as St. Patrick's
Cathedral in New York
City from 1926 through
1943.We begin with a
gently flowing rhythmic
pattern in the celli
which establishes the
12/8 meter. Throughout
the piece Yon uses the
traditional Christmas
carol O, Come All Ye
Faithful as a
countermelody. This first
occurs with a short quote
when the second violins
enter in measure 3. The
first violins entire in
the pick-up to measure 5
with Yon's main melody.
Careful attention to
dynamics should be paid
throughout, but
especially in cases such
as measure 9-10 where
they change dramatically
from piano
to forte. The pick-up
to measure 14 has the
viole and celli playing
the O, Come All Ye
Faithful countermelody
through measure 21. This
occurs again in the first
violins with the pick-up
to measure 32. Make full
use of the crescendo
in measure 53. Played
with warmth and
reverence, this will be
an effective showcase for
the orchestra.- Roy
Phillippe.
