Volume 12 in the series contains works by great composers adapted for four cellos. They all share a festive mood. Beethoven's variations on the theme of the British nation anthem 'God Save the King' are followed by 'The Shepherds' Farewell' from Berlioz' oratorio The Childhood of Christ, and three Christmas pieces by Mendelssohn. The excerpt from Wagner's Parsifal - excellently transcribed by Hermann Jacobowsky at the end of the 19th century - is associated with Good Friday, but because of its sacred character its mood blends with that of the preceding pieces.

Inhoud:
1. Beethoven, Ludwig van: God Save the KingThema und Variationen
2. Berlioz, Hector: The shepherds farewell
3. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Felix: 3 Christmas pieces
4. Wagner, Richard - Jacobowsky, Hermann: Aus dem Parsifal

Im zwölften Band werden für Cello bearbeitete Werke von großen Meistern publiziert. Gemeinsam ist ihnen ihre feierliche Stimmung. Den Beethoven-Variationen auf das Thema der britischen Hymne ‚God save the King' folgen der ‚Abschiedsgesang der Hirten' aus dem Oratorium ‚Des Heilands Kindheit' von Berlioz und drei Weihnachtsstücke Mendelssohns. Der Ausschnitt aus Wagners Parsifal - in der hervorragenden Hermann Jacobowsky- Transkription vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts - ist mit dem Karfreitag verbunden, seine Stimmung passt jedoch durch seinen sakralen Charakter zu den vorherigen Stücken.

Christmas Musical
This Christmas cantata is a faithful retelling of the Christmas story, the gospel, in song and narration, and a wonderful mixture of the new and the old, the traditional and the freshness of the contemporary. The narrations are deep and insightful, demanding much passion and heartfelt emotion. The choir will enjoy these choral arrangements, including one of Jack Schrader's top-selling pieces, Mary, Did You Know? The work makes a strong impact when done with simply choir, piano, and narration; however, full orchestrations are available. Also, the narrations are perfect to suggest the inclusion of costumed actors creating tableaux of the various scenes, so, the work may be fully staged or as simply presented as necessary. Go Tell It! has moments of quiet worship and reflection, as well as the exuberant times of joy and celebration. The congregation is frequently involved, being asked to sing on four occasions, which leads to a satisfying experience for all who participate. Performance time is approximately 39 minutes.

The Orchestration contains a full Conductor's Score and parts for: Piano/Rhythm, Bass, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Trumpet I, II & III, Horns I & II, E-Flat Alto Sax, Trombones I, II (III), Tuba, Percussion, Timpani, Harp, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses.
