Gelobet seist du Jesu Christ (We Praise You Jesus Christ) is an old Christmas hymn dating from the 16th century, which can still be found in many hymnbooks today. John Blanken has created a varied and imaginative arrangement on four verses of the hymn. After the introduction, derived from the opening notes, the hymn is first accompanied by an agile harmonisation. Next, we hear the chorale in a four-part setting with a percussion accompaniment. Then follows a short prologue to the third verse and finally its time for fireworks as the arrangement takes a stylistic leap in time with the festive prelude to the fourth and last verse.Gelobet seist du Jesu Christ ist ein altes Weihnachtslied, das aufs 16. Jahrhundert zurückgeht und heute noch in vielen Liederbüchern zu finden ist. John Blanken bearbeitete vier Strophen dieses Liedes in ganz verschiedenen Weisen: Nach der Einleitung erklingt es zunächst komplett, von einer beweglichen Harmonisierung begleitet, und dann als vierstimmiger Choral mit Schlagzeug. In der dritten Strophe liegt der Cantus firmus im Tenor und wird vom hohen Register umspielt. Der grandiose Schluss führt thematisch wieder zum Beginn des Werkes zurück.Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ è un brano natalizio tedesco del XVI secolo. John Blanken ne ha realizzato un arrangiamento pieno di diversit . Dopo una breve introduzione, la melodia è esposta nella sua integrit . Viene quindi inserita in un corale a quattro voci con percussioni. La terza strofa porta il cantus firmus nel cuore del registro tenore. Il finale è semplicemente maestoso.

Inspired by the memory of an influential music educator, Carol Brittin Chambers has woven a multitude of grooves, colors, and uplifting themes into To Create a Voice. Chambers has attempted to convey distinct moods and emotions that this educator tried to instill in his students. In honor of this dynamic teacher, you will hear Hot Cross Buns cleverly placed throughout the composition.To Create a Voice was commissioned by the Valley Concert Band in Stockton, California. The piece premiered in October 2017, in memory and celebration of Chris Anderson, a local musician and educator.When writing this piece, I tried to convey certain moods and emotions throughout: soulful at the beginning with calm woodwind chords and solo trombone; increased energy throughout the various sections of the piece; exploration of different grooves and colors; an uplifting, emotional ending that leaves the listener with a sense of how positive and loving Chris was.This piece is largely inspired by a specific quote from Chris:Most people would consider the sounds students first make on their instruments to be cringe-worthy, but to me that’s music to my ears, because that’s the first time students put a voice to their instrument. Over time those voices become stronger; they become clear, more confident, and get to a point where they use those voices to communicate with each other, and to their audiences.To relate to the first notes on the instrument idea, I used motifs based on the first notes most beginners ever play, do-re-mi, which are introduced at the beginning of the piece with the trombone solo, Chris’ instrument. During the section at m. 15, the brass introduce a chorale that I named Chris’ Theme while the woodwinds keep reminding us of do-re-mi. Later in the piece (mm. 71 and 79), I use these notes again, but in reverse, which becomes a reference to the first song most beginners learn, Hot Cross Buns. This section is also meant to portray Chris’ quirky and joking side. In mm. 75 and 83, Chris’ Theme presents itself again a couple of times in response to Hot Cross Buns.Toward the end, at the uplifting moment (m. 97), do-re-mi is heard again, but this time in harmony with mi-fa-sol. This represents the ultimate satisfaction we all feel as musicians when we have finally progressed enough to play in harmony with others. The half-time feeling in 3 at that moment also has significance, relating (rhythmically) to those important three notes again.I really hope you enjoy performing and listening to this piece as much as I have enjoyed creating it!

“The idea behind this song is to remind everyone, for all those who have forgotten, how colourful and exciting Christmas was during their childhood. Christmas is a magical time and, after all, no matter how old we are, we are all still children at heart.†These words were written by Chris de Burgh about his 2009 hit, The Bells of Christmas, inspired by Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Simon Fahnholz has now made an excellent version of this Christmas hit for concert band.Voor iedereen die vergeten is hoe bont en levendig de kerst in zijn jeugdjaren was. Kerst is een betoverend feest. Diep in ons hart zijn we allemaal nog kinderen, ook al zijn we al lang volwassenen.†Dit zei Chris de Burgh over zijnkersthit van 2009 waarin hij zich liet inspireren door de prachtige kerstverhalen van Charles Dickens.Die Idee dieses Songs ist, allen die vergessen haben, wie bunt und lebendig Weihnachten in ihrer Kinderzeit war, dies noch einmal vor Augen zu führen. Weihnachten ist ein Zauber und wir sind im tiefsten Herzen doch alle große Kinder, auch wenn wir längst erwachsen sind.“ Dies sind Chris De Burghs Worte über seinen Weihnachts-Hit von 2009, zu dem er sich von Charles’ Dickens Weihnachtsgeschichte inspirieren ließ. « Le message de cette chanson, en fait, est de rappeler ceux qui l’aurait oublié, que Noël était, du temps de leur enfance, une fête chatoyante et vivante. Au plus profond de nous-même, et même si nous avons grandi et que nous soyons devenus des adultes, nous avons gardé notre coeur d’enfant, alors n’oublions pas que Noël est une fête magique. » Voici un aperçu des paroles de la célèbre ballade The Bells of Christmas (inspirée de l’illustre roman de Charles Dickens), chantée par Chris de Burgh en 2009.“Il messaggio di questa canzone è di ricordare a coloro che l’avessero dimenticato, com’era il Natale quando erano bambini, una festa vivace e calda. Anche se siamo cresciuti e divenuti adulti, abbiamo mantenuto il cuore di bambini, non dimentichiamo allora che il Natale è una festa magicaâ€. Ecco un estratto del testo della ballata The Bells of Christmas, divenuta un grande successo del Natale 2009 e cantata da Chris de Burgh che si era ispirato al celebre romanzo di Charles Dickens.
