Four Double Basses. Eight well-known Christmas carols in a new guise. Score and parts.The Programme of Christmas Carols was first performed in New Orleans in 1976. In its original version the players were required to wear Dickensian costume and a seasonal narrative preceded each of the carol arrangements. The texts appear below.Duration without text: c.20 minutesDuration with text: c.45 minutesIntroduction by Robert RoheThe introductory text assembled with the kind assistance of Father Peacock of Loyola University of New Orleans was designed for use where the receptivity of the audience warrants. So little is known about thebeloved Christmas carols it is fitting that a brief sketch of the carols' past be used to enhance the familiar music.If desired the introductory text may be omitted at the discretion of the performers.The brief text preceding each carol should be used to acquaint the audience with what to expect from a quartet that will be playing the unexpected. The text also will pace the program and will extend performance time to around 45 minutes.In performance the bass viol quartet of New Orleans wore peaked caps and turtle necked sweaters to simulate the street performers of Dickens' time. The choice of four string basses for this program was to bring the closest relatives of the true viol into play.History and development of the Christmas CarolThe celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ has been observed for nearly 2 000 years through the ritual of the Christian Church with part of that ritual being devoted to celebration in song. In those early days church music was sung only no musical instruments taking part in the service.The type of song used by the church had the name 'plain-song'. It was a single line of melody plain and unadorned sung by one or more voices. By the year 1660 A.D. it had developed a second name 'The Gregorian Chant' after Pope Gregory who encouraged the use

A Medley of Seven Traditional Kolendy for Late Intermediate Piano-A medley of 7 traditional 'Kolendy' for late intermediate Piano solo arranged by Christos Tsitsaros.Christmas holds a unique place in the hearts of Polish people as it presentsan opportunity to unite in peace love and forgiveness and to express deep reverence for the Christ Child. The 'Kolendy' (Christmas Carols) perfectly embody this spirit of generosity and good will and accompany formal religious celebrations as well as home gatherings and festivities often lasting several days. Their wonderful folk flavour and typically Polish emotional character ranging from sad to humorous and tender provided the inspiration for this Fantasia on Christmas Carols in which aseries of seven 'Kolendy' are threaded together through key relationships and transitional elaborative sections.
