These dance melodies for two treble recorders create an insight into life in the Renaissance and Baroque eras and take us on a musical journey to times long past. Very popular and quite common in their day, the allemandes, sarabands, chaconnes, gavottes, and gigues have remained popular throughout the centuries. Staying true to the historical style, the pieces have been arranged according to dance types and not to the level of difficulty.

Based on the well-known German carol Es ist ein Ros entsprungen here is a great set of variations skilfully crafted by Roland Kernen. Utilising Bach-esque chorales with solo lines this is a perfect piece to enhance your holiday program. One not to be missed! Het bekende koraal Es ist ein Ros entsprungen (Er is een roos ontloken) werd geschreven door de Duitse componist Michael Praetorius (1571-1621). Roland Kernen heeft op basis van dit koraal verscheidene variaties geschreven,die samen het luisterrijke werk Christmas Variations vormen. Na een pakkende, fortissimo opening wordt het koraal op verschillende manieren geëxposeerd. De eerste variatie is een lichtvoetige behandeling van het koraal. Dedaaropvolgende gedragen variatie vormt hiermee een mooi contrast. Na een kort tussenspel volgt het slot, waarin het koraal nog tweemaal in volle glorie de revue passeert. Het werk sluit daarmee net zo majestueus af als het begonRoland Kernen schrieb eine Reihe Variationen über den bekannten Choral Es ist ein Ros’ ensprungen von Michael Praetorius, die zusammen das großartige Werk Christmas Variations bilden. Nach einer reizvollen, sehr schnellen Eröffnung wird der Choral auf verschiedene Weisen präsentiert: zuerst fröhlich, dann feierlich. Nach einem kurzen Zwischenspiel folgt der Schluss, in dem der Choral zwei Mal in all seiner Pracht Revue passiert. Le célèbre choral Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen (D’un arbre séculaire) a été écrit par le compositeur allemand Michael Praetorius (1571-1621). Christmas Variations de Roland Kernen est suite de variations sur ce choral. La celebre corale Es ist ein Ros entsprungen fu scritta dal compositore tedesco Michael Praetorius (1571-1621). Christmas Variations di Roland Kernen è una splendida suite di variazioni su questa corale.

Royal Coronation Dances is the first sequel to the Fanfare Ode & Festival, both being settings of dance music originally arranged by Gervaise in the mid 16th-century (the next sequel is The Renaissance Fair, which uses music of Susato and Praetorius). Fanfare Ode & Festival has been performed by many tens of thousands of students, both in high school and junior high school. I have heard that some of them are amazed that the music they are playing was first played and danced to over 400 years ago. Some students tend to think that music started with Handel and his Messiah to be followed by Beethoven and his Fifth Symphony, with naught in between or before of consequence. Although Royal Coronation Dances is derived from the same source as Fanfare Ode & Festival, they are treated in different ways. I envisioned this new suite programmatically -- hence the descriptive movement titles, which I imagined to be various dances actually used at some long-ago coronation. The first movement depicts the guests, both noble and common, flanked by flag and banner bearers, arriving at the palace to view the majestic event. They are festive, their flags swirling the air, their cloaks brightly colored. In the second movement, the queen in stately measure moves to take her place on the throne as leader and protector of the realm. In the third movement, the jesters of the court entertain the guests with wild games of sport. Musically, there are interesting sonorities to recreate. Very special attention should be given to the tambourine/tenor drum part in the first movement. Their lively rhythms give the movement its power. Therefore they should be played as distinctly and brilliantly as possible. The xylophone and glockenspiel add clarity, but must not be allowed to dominate. Observe especially the differing dynamics; the intent is to allow much buzzing bass to penetrate. The small drum (starting at meas. 29) should be played expressively, with attention to the notated articulations, with the brass light and detached, especially in a lively auditorium. It is of some further interest that the first dance is extremely modal. The original is clearly in G mixolydian mode (scale: G-A-B-C-D-E-F-G). However, other editors might put in F-sharps in many places (changing the piece almost to G major), in the belief that such ficta would have been automatically put in by the 16th-century performers as they played. I doubt it. I have not only eschewed these within the work, but even at the cadences. So this arrangement is most distinctly modal (listen to the F-naturals in meas. 22 and 23, for instance), with all the part-writing as Gervaise wrote it. In the second movement, be careful that things do not become too glued together. In the 16th century this music might have been played by a consort of recorders, instruments very light of touch and sensitive to articulation. Concert band can easily sound heavy, and although this movement has been scored for tutti band, it must not sound it. It is essential, therefore, that you hear all the instruments, with none predominating. Only when each timbre can be heard separately and simultaneously will the best blend occur, and consequently the greatest transparency. So aim for a transparent, spacious tutti sound in this movement. Especially have the flutes, who do this so well, articulate rather sharply, so as to produce a chiffing sound, and do not allow the quarter-notes to become too tied together in the entire band. The entrance of the drums (first tenor, then bass) are events and as such should be audible. Incidentally, this movement begins in F Major and ends in D Minor: They really didn't care so much about those things then. The third movement (one friend has remarked that it is the most Margolisian of the bunch, but actually I am just getting subtler, I hope) again relies upon the percussion (and the scoring) to make its points. Xylophone in this movement is meant to be distinctly audible. Therefore, be especially sure that the xylophone player is secure in the part, and also that the tambourine and toms sound good. This movement must fly or it will sink, so rev up the band and conduct it in 1 for this mixolydian jesting. I suppose the wildly unrelated keys (clarinets and then brass at the end) would be a good 16th-century joke, but to us, our put-up-the-chorus-a-half-step ears readily accept such shenanigans.
