The
Sleep of the Infant Jesus
is a ballad carol that is
also a lullaby.
Traditionally French, the
tune dates before 1800,
but the composer is
unknown. Although little
known, the tune is a
beautiful and serene
Christmas folk melody.
This arrangement
for saxophone quartet
(SATBar), rather than
favoring a soprano solo
with accompaniment,
strives to include all
the players in the music
making, particularly by
distributing melodic
material. In addition,
all dynamics and
articulations should be
taken as suggestions
only, as performers are
encouraged to make their
own interpretations.

Traditional French
Carol.
Angels We
Have Heard on High, a
popular Christmas song,
is likely a traditional
French carol. The lyrics
refer to the Gospel of
Luke's account of the
birth of Christ. In that
rendition, shepherds note
that the newborn child is
surrounded by a chorus of
angels. The chorus of
Angels We Have Heard on
High features a memorable
cascading effect of notes
on the text Gloria in
excelsis Deo, Latin for
Glory to God in the
highest. In this setting
of the popular Christmas
favorite, the melodic
material has been
carefully arranged for
four saxophones (SATBar)
by Bill Perconti.

Patapa
n is a French carol
attributed to Bernard de
la Monnoye who lived from
1641--1728. The title
refers to the beating of
a drum, and the lyrics
also mention other
instruments (pipes, fife,
and flute). As with many
Christmas tunes, Patapan
reflects the joyous union
of Christmas music with
dance, as the lyrics
express, when you play
your fife and drum, how
can anyone be glum? The
melody is complimented in
this arrangement by the
use of a lyrical folk
song also used by
Tchaikovsky in his 1812
Overture.
This

with accompaniment,
strives to include all of
the players by

material. In addition,

Dating
from the 18th century, He
Is Born, Holy Child is a
traditional French carol.
The composer and lyricist
are anonymous, but
translations of the texts
have resulted in many
references to music,
including Sound the
pipes, let the trumpets
play, Play the oboes and
bagpipes merrily, and
Bells are ringing, we are
singing.

Noels
(the French spelling) are
old but enduring carols
that often tell a
ballad-like story.
Nowells (English
spelling) are likely
derived from and
developed by English
wandering minstrels. Both
carols and nowells are
often in 3/4 meter,
lending themselveswell to
dance. The First Nowell
is one of a few carols
that survived a ban on
Christmas by the English
Parliament in 1645. The
tune is one of the oldest
ballad carols, perhaps
dating back to 1500, and
likely originating in
England. This arrangement
of The First Nowell has
multiple settings of the
3/4 time melody.
This arrangement
for saxophone quartet
(SATBar)---rather than
favoring a soprano solo
with
accompaniment---strives
to include all the
players in the music
making, particularly by
distributing melodic
material throughout the
ensemble. In addition,
all dynamics and
articulations should be
taken as suggestions
only, as performers are
encouraged to make their
own interpretations.
