Tender and expressive! Two of the most popular settings of the Away in a Manger text give the audience pause to reflect on the meaning of the season. This is one of those beautiful arrangements that is a worthwhile endeavor for bands at every level of ability. Younger groups can work on shaping phrases, balancing chords, blending the ensemble and so much more, while advanced groups have the mastery to explore their own deeply expressive and freely conducted interpretation. For groups in the middle, remember, itâ??s always good to include a performance piece that does not require too much â??note chasingâ? so the subtler aspects of the musical art can be examined and reinforced.Charming!
Mit zwei reizvollen Variationen über das Lied Away in a Manger will der Komponist und Arrangeur James Curnow zum Nachdenken über den eigentlichen Sinn von Weihnachten anregen: die Geburt Christi (englisch Nativityâ??). Mit viel Ausdruck interpretiert, kommt diese musikalische frohe Botschaft in (kirchlichen) Weihnachtskonzerten ganz bestimmt beim Publikum an!
Il existe plus dâ??une quarantaine de mélodies associées au texte Away in a Manger (â??Sur la paille fraîcheâ?). Nativity (La Nativité) développe deux des plus célèbres mélodies datées du XIXe siècle. Tel un peintre, James Curnow nous invite découvrir peu peu le sens profond du mystère de la Nativité. La musique est fluide, expressive et méditative ; une pièce idéale pour éveiller la sensibilité musicale de vos jeunes interprètes.
