Traditional.
The
Appalachian folk carol,
Jesus, Jesus, Rest Your
Head, was collected by
folk musicologist (and
the composer of the tune,
I Wonder as I Wander),
John Jacob Niles, in the
early Twentieth Century.
This hauntingly beautiful
arrangement of the tune
explores the Nativity
with peaceful reverence
and mysterious wonder.
Watson's writing includes
expressive tempo changes,
lush scoring for full
band, transparent
episodes for woodwinds,
and delicate percussion
writing, offering bands
ample opportunity for
performing with musical
beauty and eloquence.
(3:50).
