Christmas modern

One of the world’s most famous Irish ballads
in a new arrangement by Erwin Jahreis for concert band.

With its melancholic melody, based on the Irish classic “Londonderry Air,”
and its heartfelt and moving lyrics, which speak of farewell, longing, and hope,
this timeless and beautiful song is particularly suited to the contemplative Christmas season.

Feliz Navidad literally translates simply as ‘Merry Christmas’. José Feliciano
composed a Christmas carol with this title in 1970 – and it remains to this day
one of the best-known modern Christmas carols. It is a lively,
Latin American piece, brimming with infectious Christmas cheer.

In his arrangement for Concert Band, Heinz Briegel has preserved this joyful and
exuberant character of the music. ‘Feliz Navidad’ is a valuable addition
to the Christmas repertoire of any Concert Band from intermediate level upwards.
