WHAT IS THE "LIMITED OR FULL" BAND SERIES FROM C.DURIGG MUSIC?
Do you have intermediate or advanced performers in a very small band program? Are your performers ready for more intermediate or advanced band repertoire, yet the band’s limited instrumentation holds them back?
My "Limited or Full" series is geared toward the success of small bands with limited instrumentation. These pieces aim at giving small bands more advanced music within the framework of a "young band" arrangement. If you like the music, these pieces also sound great with a larger "full" instrumentation.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming (originally known as Es ist din Ros entsprungen) is a German Christmas Carol and Marian hymn in mixed meter. First sung in the 15th Century and first published int he 16th Century, this hymn is still popular in the 21st Century. In multiple different contexts, the hymn compares the beauty of Christmas to that of a lovely rose. The most common harmonization to this melody was composted by Michael Praetorius in 1609, and the original part-writing contains elements of the Renaissance madrigal. Although this band arrangement is rescored with different part-writing, it pays some homage to the musical traditions employed in the original carol. This theme and variations is a mixture of four different scoring methods: modern Christmas Carol; gently-applied lyrical contemporary; Renaissance imitation; and a bombastic, Romantic orchestral finish. This piece features multiple subtle musical sensibilities and a gentle introduction into the world of mixed meter. I sincerely hope you enjoy this arrangement!
