Gustav Holst

Christina Rossetti wrote the words to this famous Christmas carol in 1872 in response to a request from the magazine Scribner's Monthly for a Christmas poem. They were set to music by Gustav Holst (1874-1934) for inclusion in the first edition (1906) of The English Hymnal edited by his life-long friend Ralph Vaughan Williams. Philip Sparke has carefully arranged the beautiful melody into this delightful version for brass band. A must for any Christmas concert.

Using excerpts from the first and third movements but still maintaining the formal and harmonic integrity of the original this adaptation allows even middle school players to experience the unforgettable themes from Holstsmasterwork. Also theMarch movement is very effective when performed by itself. Dur: 4:45 (Grade 2 – Hal Leonard MusicWorks series)
