Though not as familiar as other holiday carols, this ancient melody has an intrinsic beauty in both its shape and harmonic support. Reflecting those elements, this arrangement creates an evocative sound world. The mood is inspired by viewing the expanse of the night sky. Throughout history, we as humans are connected, in a sense, by the fact that we look up at the same pattern of stars today as those who created this ancient tune so many years ago, which suggests a point of connection over time. In this arrangement you will find a sense of wonder and awe as the melody weaves its way between consonance and dissonance. The re-imagining of this medieval carol reflects the timeless nature of the Christmas season. Students will work on sustaining long tones and tuning non-traditional chords in this choral-like setting for string orchestra. The melody flows between all the parts with short musical interludes between.

A Medieval Carol. Composed by French carol. Arranged by Gene Milford. Full score. 16 pages. Carl Fischer Music #FPS163F. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.FPS163F).

The melody of The Friendly Beasts (“Orientis Partibus”) originated in twelfth-century France and has been attributed to Pierre de Corbeil, Bishop of Sens. The song migrated to England by the thirteenth century, where its popularity grew and in the early twentieth century the familiar English words were added. The melody has been set in both quadruple and triple meter and is presented in both meters here. Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872–1958) included the carol in his English Hymnal (1906).The words in both the original Latin and modern English versions pay homage to the place of animals in the Christmas story. The carol has also been known as The Donkey Carol and The Animal Carol.This setting is intended to reflect the Medieval origins of the melody. Some freedom of tempo would be appropriate during the “chant” version of the melody (mm. 6–18). Adding poco ritardando at m. 28, at the discretion of the director, should lead to a stricter tempo in mm. 31–53, in the manner of a medieval round dance. A gentle approach to the performance is appropriate. Finger cymbals could be added to or replace all or part of the triangle part, again at the director’s discretion.

Alche my is usually defined as the Medieval search for the means of transmuting base metals, such as lead into gold and silver. The alchemist hoped to find the mysterious combination of words or elements to attain the goal. Our scene begins with a dramatic invocation to the spirits of the metals, followed by a chant to empower the energy necessary for the change. A procession of the alchemist's apprentices is heard as they add their presence to the effort and a final surge as the transformation is realized. Or is it? Careful execution of the dynamic variations within the work is essential to realize the desired effect. A metal plate can be substituted for the break drum. The tap on stands instruction in mm. 46 - 52 should be performed with a metallic beater on a metal stand. Experiment with mechanical pencils, small screwdrivers, portions of coat hangers, etc. Additional metallic percussion instruments could be added to enhance the effect or in place of the music stands. Volume is not as important as timbre.
