The Urtext edition (2023) of Jean Sibelius’ Five Christmas Songs op. 1 for voice and piano is based on the critical edition presented in the volume VIII/2 Works for Solo Voice Vol. 2 of Jean Sibelius Works (JSW) edited by Jukka Tiilikainen. The lyrics are included in Swedish, Finnish and English.

Sakari Ylivuori's introduction illuminates the history of the beloved songs: May 1, 1913 was cold and wet. Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) spent the day at home at Ainola composing two Christmas songs: settings of poems for children by Zachris Topelius. The two songs born on that chilly spring day were Nu står jul vid snöig port (Now stands Yule at the snowy gate) and Nu så kommer julen (Now is Christmas coming). He then put them together with three Christmas carols he had earlier composed and gave the set the imposing Opus number 1. He had previously considered giving the distinction to various other works, but from 1915 onwards the Five Christmas Songs had the honour of heading his catalogue. [...]

Snowy hilltops, timeless family traditions, and the warmth of a hearth---the atmosphere of a Smoky Mountain Christmas is captured in this arrangement of three traditional Appalachian carols arranged by Andrew Dabcyznski. The simple modal melodies of Star of the East and Babe of Bethlehem are passed throughout the orchestra, before concluding with the stirring spiritual Rise Up Shepherd and Follow. The keys, meters, and bowings are all playable by second-year string students, but intermediate and advanced students also will find this to be a satisfying holiday concert piece. (3:30).

Medle y of familiar Christmas Carols
This reflective piece combines Twas in the Moon of Wintertime' with O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, making it perfect for Advent and Christmas. Echo and LV make for a warm tone in the chordal and arpeggio accompaniment while the melody floats above. The ending encompasses both tunes simply conversing to a close on an open chord, emphasizing the mystery of that holy night.

The jaunty traditional melody (Here We Come A-Caroling) appears briefly in its original 6/8 time, before we're off on full-ensemble, straight-ahead swing. A brief sax soli and some short drum set interjections take the role of soloist. Nothing but holiday cheer from end-to-end. Top trumpet note: G 5.
