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.

The First Nowell is a traditional Christmas song that can be traced back to the 18th century. The word �??nowell�?� is in fact derived the French word for Christmas, �??noel�?�. 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 �??Nowell�?? 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 hartverwarmend�?�

The First Nowell ist ein traditionelles Weihnachtslied, das vermutlich aus dem Cornwall des 18. Jahrhunderts stammt. Das Wort Nowell�?? im Titel geht auf das französische Noël�?? 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 Nowell�?? dans le titre de cette chanson traditionnelle de Noël datant du XVIIIe siècle et dont l�??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 �??nowell�?� di questo canto tradizionale natalizio datato del XVIII secolo e originario della Cornovaglia, fa riferimento alla parola francese �??Noel�?� (appunto Natale). Lorenzo Bocci ne ha realizzato un elegante arrangiamento per ensemble a strumentazione variabile (quattro voci).
