This setting of The First Noel begins with a percussion intro and dissonant chords that lead to a beautiful flute duet. The melody is freely adapted and at times, outright changed, to give this arrangement a very different sound. Using rhythmic motives, tone clusters, altered melodies and all the sounds available for a concert band, the piece takes the audience on a journey that leads to a statement of the original tune at m. 118. Everyone gets the melody at some point. After a chorale-like section, the composition returns to the fast and upbeat sounds of the beginning. Your musicians and audience will love this unique version of this old-time favorite. When performing this piece, start dark and mysterious and let the sounds crescendo through the introduction all the way to m. 21, the first statement of the hymn. Make sure you keep the tempo moving so the arrangement does not lose excitement. Keep the flute duet, and later the trumpet duet, nice and light. At m. 118, play a little slower and in a standard chorale style, being careful to let the flute and oboe voices be heard. Let the low voices have the reins at m. 126 as they play the melody. Pick the tempo back up to the original tempo at m. 145 and push to the end. The main thing is to match articulation throughout the band--at the beginning and at the end, think light accents and separation, and at the chorale section at m. 118, more legato. Keeping everyone on the same page with articulation will be the key to making a great performance.

The First Nowell is a traditional Christmas song that can be traced back to the 18th century. The word â??nowellâ? is in fact derived the French word for Christmas, â??noelâ?. The First Nowell is sung in Englishspeaking countries around the world, although the actual text may vary by region and local customs. The simple and beautiful melody has made this carol a Christmas favourite. Lorenzo Bocci turns the melody into an elegant flexible four-part arrangement.

The First Nowell is een traditioneel kerstlied dat vermoedelijk uit het Cornwall (Engeland) van de achttiende eeuw stamt. Het woord â??Nowellâ?? in de titel verwijst naar het Franse woord voor kerst: noël. In heel het Engelstalige gebiedwordt dit lied gezongen, weliswaar met verschillenden teksten. Dankzij de eenvoudige maar ontroerende melodie is het lied over de gehele wereld bekend. Lorenzo Bocci maakte er een arrangement voor vijfstemmige variabele bezettingvan. Lieflijk en hartverwarmendâ?¦
The First Nowell ist ein traditionelles Weihnachtslied, das vermutlich aus dem Cornwall des 18. Jahrhunderts stammt. Das Wort Nowellâ?? im Titel geht auf das französische Noëlâ?? fu?r Weihnachten zuru?ck. Das Lied wird zu unterschiedlichen Textversionen im gesamten englischen Sprachraum gesungen und ist dank seiner schlichten, ergreifenden Melodie auf der ganzen Welt bekannt. Diese schöne Melodie machte Lorenzo Bocci mit seinem Arrangement fu?r eine vierstimmig variable Bläserbesetzung spielbar.

Le mot Nowellâ?? dans le titre de cette chanson traditionnelle de Noël datant du XVIIIe siècle et dont lâ??origine se situe dans les Cornouailles en Angleterre, fait référence au mot français Noël. Lorenzo Bocci a façonné un élégant arrangement pour ensemble instrumentation variable quatre voix de cette mélodie, accessible et ravissante, faisant de ce chant un choral de prédilection dans le monde entier.

La parola â??nowellâ? di questo canto tradizionale natalizio datato del XVIII secolo e originario della Cornovaglia, fa riferimento alla parola francese â??Noelâ? (appunto Natale). Lorenzo Bocci ne ha realizzato un elegante arrangiamento per ensemble a strumentazione variabile (quattro voci).
