The title of this clever arrangement reveals the Christmas song it is based on. The melody can be traced back to a French folksong from the 18th century which is now known around the world. In France it is called Les anges dans nos campagnes, in Germany it is most widely known as Engel auf den Feldern singen and in England it was originally called Angels From the Realms of Glory but it often known as Angels We Have Heard on High. Everyone will rejoice upon hearing the ‘Gloria in excelsis Deo’ refrain!

Hinter diesem Titel verbirgt sich ein neues Arrangement für Brass Band des alten französischen Weihnachtsliedes Les anges dans nos campagnes aus dem Frankreich des 18. Jahrhunderts. In Deutschland kennt man es (u. a.) als Engel auf den Feldern singen, in England existiert neben dem oben genannten Titel auch die Version Angels We Have Heard on High. Allen gemeinsam ist der markante Refrain Gloria in excelsis Deo“ der dem Lied seinen besonders erhabenen, festlichen Charakter verleiht.

Angels from the realms of Glory è uno dei più celebri e dei più bei canti natalizi. Questo splendido arrangiamento inizia su un’introduzione festiva che accompagna verso l’esposizione del tema in forma di corale. Segue un intermezzo dalle sonorit ampie e generose, che precede le riprese del corale di apertura dagli accenti gioiosi. Il brano si conclude in modo maestoso per rappresentare l’atmosfera meravigliosa e incantata che caratterizza il Natale.
