Enchant your audiences with this intermediate collection for clarinet quintet of four internationally beloved Christmas carols--instantly downloadable for your next holiday performance.‍ A Western Tapestry of Carols —with music spanning the Atlantic and Western Europe from the U.S., England, France, and Spain—includes:
🎄Joy to the World
🎄Angels We Have Heard on High
🎄In the Bleak Midwinter
🎄RĂu RĂu ChĂu
🎄Joy to the World: The American Christmas carol “Joy to the World” was written in 1719; however, the version most of us sing today is based on an 1848 arrangement by the American composer Lowell Mason, with the tune attributed to George F. Handel. This Christmas carol mash-up is based on "Joy to the World" and also includes "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem." Originally scored for piano, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for clarinets.
🎄Angels We Have Heard on High: This Christmas carol mash-up based on the traditional French carol "Angels We Have Heard on High" also includes quotes from "Good King Wenceslas," "Jingle Bells," and "O Come, All Ye Faithful," representing carols from Czechia (formerly the Czech Republic), France, Germany, and the US. Originally scored for piano, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for clarinets, which brings a taste of Europe to your holiday celebrations.
🎄In the Bleak Midwinter: Written in 1909 while a student at the Royal College of Music in London, “In the Bleak Midwinter” has since become a holiday classic. According to BBC News, it was named the Best Christmas Carol in a 2008 poll of leading choirmasters and choral experts. Originally a British choral holiday standard, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for winds, which will bring a touch of Olde England to your holiday celebrations.
🎄RĂu RĂu ChĂu: This 16th-century Spanish villancico, a musical form popular on the Iberian Peninsula, is a carol used during Advent season. The title is actually made of mostly nonsense syllables that represent the song of a nightingale. However, "RĂu" translates to "River" in Catalan, a tribute to the birthplace of the suggested composer, Bartomeu CĂ rceres. Although not as well known as some American carols, it is a lively, dynamic arrangement that brings a taste of Europe to your holiday celebrations. Originally a choral-music classic, I hope you enjoy this new setting for winds.
This tapestry of carols spanning Western Europe and the US is perfect for any holiday celebration, event, recital, church service, or caroling gig. This charming group of holiday favorites was written for most ensembles, from advanced high school quintets to college groups to amateur ensembles and professional quintets. Save 50% when you purchase the entire collection versus single-item prices. These internationally beloved Christmas tunes will enchant your listeners and enrich your repertoire. Add this holiday collection to your clarinet quintet library today. Your audiences will thank you!
