Arrangeur: Wil van der Beek. À travers les siècles et de nos jours encore, Noël a été un thème d’inspiration privilégié pour les compositeurs. A Classical Christmas (“Noël classique”) rassemble des oeuvres de trois grands compositeurs français du XIXe siècle. Le premier mouvement nous fait découvrir César Franck (1822-1890), grand organiste et brillant compositeur, qui a donné une réelle valeur artistique à certains chants de Noël français traditionnels. Ce mouvement apaisé, au charme captivant, offre de nombreuses possibilités en termes de nuances et d’expression. La percussion intervient mais ne tient qu’un rôle modeste. Le thème de l’oratorio L’Enfance du Christ d’Hector Berlioz(1803-1869) est au centre du deuxième mouvement. Le thème est conçu comme une ode à la sainte Famille. Ce deuxième mouvement, expressif et tendre, possède un caractère intimiste. Le thème du troisième et dernier mouvement est extrait de l’Oratorio de Noël de Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921). Il s’agit d’une page bien connue, le célèbre choeur final Tollite Hostias. La puissance et l’intensité donnent à ce finale le ton festif qui caractérise Noël. / Niveau : 2 / Musique populaire / Recueil / Concert Band ou Harmonie ou Fanfare ou Brass Band
