Holiday Music--for Christmas, Easter, Fourth of July and whatever else!
~Advent & Christmas~
Once in Royal David's City
An old Christmas hymn, for violins, harp and strings.....
O Come, O Come EmmanuelFor Advent....
Of the Father's Love BegottenA lovely hymn that was once a plainsong chant, hence the intriguingly uneven meters. Suitable for Advent. Flute, clarinet, harp and strings.
O Tannenbaum/Am Weihnachtsbaum die Lichter BrennenA medley of two traditional German carols about Christmas trees....
O SanctissimaKnown in German as "O du Fr?che"...Away in a MangerA medley of two different versions.
O Come All Ye FaithfulOr "Adeste Fideles", whichever you prefer.
O Holy NightA small extravaganza....
Angels We Have Heard on HighSinging sweetly o'er the plain....
Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing DayA less well-known carol, sure beats the heck out of "Jingle Bells" though....
And He Shall Feed His Flockby G.F. Handel. From The Messiah, the beautiful duet which segues into "O Come Unto Him, All Ye That Labor".....Not strictly for Christmas, but often performed at that time of year......
The Holly and the Ivy/The Holly Bears a BerryA medley of two variations of a British Christmas carol, for flute, clarinet, harp and strings. Same version here for two violins--take your pick.
In Dulci JubiloOr, as we protestants know it, "Good Christian Men, Rejoice"--but I like the Latin/German version better, somehow.....
German/Austrian Christmas MedleyThe carols are "O Come Little Children", "Ye Shepherds, Awake!", "Still, Still, Still", "Softly Falls the Snow", "Come Ye Shepherds", and...of course! "Silent Night." For strings, flute, bells, and piano.
Joy to the WorldThe original, not the Three Dog Night version;) Written with a calypso-ish feel to it. I like it!
~Thanksgiving~
We Gather TogetherA hymn for Thanksgiving, scored for piano and strings.
~Patriotic Holidays~
The Star-spangled Banner
The national anthem itself, for strings and bells. A gentle arrangement.
God of Our Fathers
For organ, strings, and bells.
America the BeautifulShould really be our national anthem. For strings, piano, bells, flute and clarinet. See if this one doesn't raise a few goose bumps.....
Battle Hymn of the RepublicFor flute, piccolo, brass, strings and percussion. A rousing piece in march tempo!
~Palm Sunday & Easter~
Wondrous LoveFor Holy Week.
Crown Him with Many CrownsFor Easter.
Hosanna, Loud HosannaA hymn for Palm Sunday...Piano, harp, strings, and bells....
Thine is the GloryA hymn for Easter with a beautiful melody by George F. Handel. Scored for strings, piano, harp, flute and clarinet. Christ the Lord is Risen TodayThe well-known Easter hymn....
