Carol of the Night: Concert Band: Score & Parts

A splendid centerpiece for a holiday concert here is John Moss' special touch on the beloved carols O Come O Come Emmanuel; Stille Stille Stille; and Carol of the Bells.

Frank Bridge (1879 – 1941) was one of the leading English composers of his time. In October 1922 he adapted his popular string quartet Sir Roger de Coverley for full symphony orchestra and Sir Henry Wood agreed at the last minute to include it in the last night of the Queen’s Hall Promenade Concerts at the end of that month.This elaborate and colourful orchestral version has never been widely performed but has now been brilliantly transcribed by Alastair Wheeler to provide a miniature dance poem for grade 5 level concert band.Bridge’s lively treatment of one of England’s most famous traditional dance melodies willmake a fitting end to any concert with the strains of Auld Lang Syne introduced by Bridge as a nod towards Sir Roger de Coverley’s traditional function as the final dance of a Christmas Ball as it was in Old Mr. Fezziwig’s party in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

Over their twenty year span the Canadian Brass have recorded many memorable Christmas songs that have become classic recordings heard everywhere. Here are six of their favorites woven together into an outstanding medley for band. Includes: Jingle Bells; Good King Wenceslas; Lo How A Rose E'er Blooming; Carol Of The Bells; Silent Night; and O Come All Ye Faithful.

Drawing on the rich heritage of German carols Johnnie has created a real holiday treat for young bands. Includes O Come Little Children; Ring Little Bells; O Christmas Tree and Silent Night.

‘Christmas Colours’ is a palette consisting of several Christmas songs. Bruce Fraser has mainly used the colours green (the colour of holly) and white (the colour of snow). This composition begins with the chiming of festive bells - if you listen well however you can already hear short fragments from 'The Holly and the Ivy' whose entire melody is finally played alternated with 'The Sussex Carol'. After this the pace slows down and the stately 'See amid the Winter Snow' sounds but parts from 'Jingle Bells' and 'Silent Night' can also be heard. Then after walking under 'The Holly and the Ivy' once again the celebration of Christmas may begin!

Eric includes three traditional carols: Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Silent Night and Joy To The World in a medley for holiday programming.
