De Haske

‘A Christmas March’ is a lively, easy-to-play piece
suitable for the opening or closing of a Christmas concert.

The main theme of this march is original, though here and there
Philip Sparke has peppered the piece with allusions
to well-known Christmas carols. His choices include:

Adeste Fidelis (Come, O Faithful), Deck the Halls,
Good King Wenceslas and Jingle Bells.
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen forms the trio section of the march.

A lovely new yet familiar-sounding Christmas piece!

Silent Night was written by the Austrian composer and organist Franz Gruber
on 24 December 1818, commissioned by the priest of St Nicholas’ Church in Oberndorf.
Who could have imagined back then that this song, with its romantic character, would one day be translated into 150
languages and sung all over the world? Jacob de Haan wrote this
superb arrangement for concert band with optional male choir.

Blasmusik-Ausgabe

“Kinderweihnacht” is a cheerful medley of a number of well-known German
Christmas carols. In the last song, kitchen utensils are used as percussion instruments:
bottles, spoons, and pot lids add to the fun. Roland Kernen wrote this
arrangement for a variable four-part ensemble with an optional children’s choir.

Transeamus usque Bethlehem

The German composer, violinist, organist, conductor and music teacher Joseph Ignaz Schnabel
composed masses, hymns, vespers, military music and a clarinet concerto.

which does absolute justice to the original.
