Christmas For Brass
$12.00
Scored for traditional brass quintet the piece incorporates material from Pat-a-Pan with the melodic material in the upper voices and then passed to the lower voices. After much rhythmic activity the piece becomes more legato and flowing, and modulates to a new key using material from “O Come, O Ye Faithful Him,” in a fugal style After a new modulation the fragmented theme is broken into entrances by the various instruments- the tune_ “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” where it is broken into more syncopated renditions. Another modulation? Yes and this time introducing “Angels From The Realms Of Glory” The final section is imitative with brief snatches of “Joy To The World!”
