Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. L’origine du cantique Adeste Fideles [Adeste Fidelis] reste un mystère. On mentionne divers noms de poètes. D’aucuns soutiennent qu’il s’agit d’un noël ancien inspiré d’une danse autour de la crèche. On pense également que Saint François d’Assise s’en serait servi pour sa crèche vivante. D’autres attribuent son origine à Saint Bonaventure. Quoiqu’il en soit, il est communément reconnu que les strophes ont été écrites ou découvertes par l’Anglais John Francis Wade. Adeste Fidelis (Ô peuple fidèle) est un des plus célèbres cantiques de Noël. / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Good King Wenceslas. Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. Young band directors are always on the lookout for something new and a little different for the winter concert. Timothy Johnson’s new Christmas arrangement for Beginning Bands fits the bill perfectly. It remains technically accessible to the young band while exploring this old familiar tune in new and different ways. You even have the option of including a 'set' drummer by using the Optional Percussion 1 Advanced part. Lots of unison rhythms in the Winds ensure that you can prepare The Good King Rocks in time for that winter concert, and there are enjoyable parts for every instrument, which keeps the whole group focused and involved during rehearsal. Fun! / Niveau : 0.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. An imaginative look at a good old-fashioned Christmas! From aromas of family favorites cooking in the kitchen, to the images of decorated trees, snow scenes, and caroling - all are a part of that wonderful celebration. Rather than just taking the same old Public Domain Christmas carols for one more go ‘round, Timothy Johnson has composed the majority of THREE HOLIDAY SCENES using fresh and original melodies. The first scene opens with fragments of “Oh Tannenbaum” but quickly moves into a beautiful Christmas waltz. An “effets de neige, ” or “Snowfall effect, ” carries the luscious second and contrasting scene. In the 3rd and final scene, the phrases from well-known carols mergewith one another, creating the effect of “caroling. ” Finally, melodies serve as counterpoint for one another and bring this delightful vignette to a close. This piece presents an excellent opportunity to work with the Art department in creating drawings and paintings of holiday images. Pull your chair a little closer to the fireplace and sit back for a winsome holiday treat! / Niveau : 2.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band

Concert March. Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. À l’est de la Californie s’élève la Sierra Nevada. Coiffée de neige, la cime du Mont Thunderbolt (Thunderbolt Peak) se dresse, spectaculaire, au beau milieu de cette chaîne montagneuse. Cette marche imposante aux thèmes amples décrit, dans un mode mineur, la dangereuse beauté du décor. Une oeuvre efficace même si l’on dispose d’une formation incomplète. / Niveau : 0.5 / Marche / Répertoire / Concert Band
