Silent Midwinter’s Noel is a fantasia on three traditional Christmas tunes. The introduction of the piece, an Adagietto, alternates between melodic statements of In The Bleak Midwinter and Silent Night. The second main section of the piece, an Allegro, primarily juxtaposes The First Noel and Silent Night.The tempo markings throughout the score are mostly suggestions. The conductor may choose to deviate within five to ten clicks in either direction on their metronome. During the Adagietto, the conductor may also choose to draw out harmonic cadences for increased tension and resolution.The piece is scored in Eb and F major to allow younger performers to achieve excellent intonation. Performers should strive to produce characteristic sounds, especially when playing melodic statements. The tunes within this piece are all carols, and should be played as such. The conductor may choose to teach the performers how to sing the carols for added educational value. Lyrics for the carols are included below:Silent NightSilent night! Holy night!All is calm, all is brightRound yon virgin mother and child!Holy infant, so tender and mild,Sleep in heavenly peace!Sleep in heavenly peace!In the Bleak MidwinterIn the bleak midwinterfrosty wind made moan,earth stood hard as iron,water like a stone:snow had fallen,snow on snow, snow on snow,in the bleak midwinter,long ago.The First NoelThe First Noel the angel did sayWas to certain poor shepherdsin fields as they lay;In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep,On a cold winter's night that was so deep.Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of Israel.

Canon Noel combines the iconic Pachelbel theme with graceful melodies from The First Noel and Hark! the Herald Angels Sing. This lyrical setting in D major includes just a little shifting in the Bass and easy high-3 finger patterns in Violin II and Viola. Providing a wonderful study in legato playing with slurs in 3/4, the simple scale-based motion and frequent doubling will give the developing ensemble a full, rich sound as all sections get to play melodic material. An accessible and beautiful winter concert selection with a classical touch!

Already popular as a choral work, orchestral work and concert band piece, this new edition of Pacem Noel for string orchestra has been transposed so it can be performed in four different ways: independently, as an accompaniment to the choral version (CM9226), along with the band version (YPS85), or together with both band and chorus. This delightful holiday arrangement is based on the popular canon Dona Nobis Pacem combined with the famous carol The First Noel. It is effective, yet simple, and it brings together two beautiful songs in a delicate and musical way. As the title implies, may we all have Peace for Christmas..

Golden Winds was commissioned by Jugendblasorchester Schramberg, Germany, to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2012. They gave the premiere, conducted by Andreas Hirt, at their Christmas concert that year.The work opens with a nervously energetic theme in the lower woodwinds, which is developed in canon and builds to climax for the whole band. The mood subsides to introduce a meditative section featuring first the clarinets and then a rich, chorale-like theme which grows into a passionate tutti. This then leads to the main body of the piece, a rhythmic vivo, which introduces its main theme quietly before it is taken up by the full band. A brief bridge passage thenintroduces a muscular second subject which develops until the bridge passage reappears to lead to a repeat of the main theme. This is transformed to herald a return of the opening bars of the piece, which now bring the work to a celebratory close. Golden Winds werd geschreven in opdracht van het Jugendblasorchester Schramberg uit Duitsland, dat in 2012 zijn vijftigjarig bestaan vierde. Het orkest bracht het werk in premiere tijdens het kerstconcert van het jubileumjaar, onder leiding van dirigent Andreas Hirt.De compositie begint met een koortsachtig, energiek thema in het lage hout. Dit ontvouwt zich vervolgens tot een canon, die uitmondt in een door het complete orkest uitgevoerd hoogtepunt. De muziek wordt rustiger van sfeer en er ontwikkelt zich een meditatieve passage, aanvankelijk gespeeld door de klarinetten, waarna een rijk, koraalachtig thema uitgroeit tot een gepassioneerd tutti. Het centralegedeelte van het werk, een ritmisch vivo, introduceert het hoofdthema, eerst zachtjes en dan weerklinkend in het hele orkest. Een kort fragment leidt een krachtig tweede motief in, waarop wordt voortgebouwd totdat de bridgepassage opnieuw opduikt en ons meevoert naar een herhaling van het hoofdthema. Dat ondergaat een transformatie en kondigt dan de terugkeer van de openingsmaten aan, waarmee het werk op feestelijke wijze wordt afgesloten. Golden Winds wurde zum 50-jahrigen Jubilaum des Jugendblasorchesters Schramberg in Auftrag gegeben. Die Premiere fand beim Weihnachtskonzert selbigen Jahres unter der Leitung von Andreas Hirt statt.Das Werk setzt mit einem Thema voll gespannter Energie in den tiefen Holzblasern ein, das kanonisch weiterentwickelt wird und sich zu einem Hohepunkt fur das gesamte Orchester aufbaut. Diese Stimmung klingt ab zugunsten eines meditativen Abschnitts, der zunachst die Klarinetten in den Vordergrund ruckt und dann ein volltonendes, choralartiges Thema, das zu einem leidenschaftlichen Tutti anschwillt. Dieses fuhrt zum Hauptteil des Stuckes, einem rhythmischen Vivo, das seinHauptthema leise vorstellt, bevor es vom gesamten Orchester aufgenommen wird. Eine kurze Uberleitung prasentiert ein kraftvolles zweites Thema, das weiterentwickelt wird bis die Uberleitung zuruckkehrt und die Wiederholung des Hauptthemas bewirkt. Dieses verwandelt sich in eine Ankundigung der Eroffnungstakte, die das Werk nun zu einem festlichen Schluss fuhren. Golden Winds est une commande de l'Harmonie des Jeunes de Schramberg, en Allemagne, pour marquer son cinquantenaire en 2012. L'orchestre a cree cette piece sous la direction d'Andreas Hirt lors de son concert de Noel la meme annee.La piece s'ouvre sur un theme nerveux et energique joue dans le registre grave des bois qui se developpe en canon et s'amplifie pour arriver a un climax avec l'orchestre entier. L'ambiance s'apaise pour introduire un passage contemplatif qui met en avant d'abord les clarinettes, puis un theme opulent en forme de choral qui se transforme en un tutti ardent. Celui-ci mene au corps de la piece, un vivo rythme qui introduit doucement son themeprincipal avant une reprise par l'orchestre entier. Un court passage de transition introduit alors un second sujet muscle qui se developpe jusqu'a la reapparition du passage de transition pour mener a une reprise du theme principal. Ce theme se transforme pour annoncer le retour des premieres mesures de la piece, qui menent a une conclusion festive.
