Concert Band Concert Band - Grade 2
SKU: AP.98-B1126
Composed by English Carol. Arranged by Andrew Balent. Concert Band. FJH Young Band. Christmas; Holiday Pops; Traditional. Score and Part(s). Duration 2:10. The FJH Music Company Inc #98-B1126. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc (AP.98-B1126).UPC: 674398209866. English.
This arrangement of God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen starts off in a moderate 4/4 tempo featuring a solo trumpet on the opening melody. The orchestration progressively thickens and then the piece moves into a lively 3/4 tempo, where the low brass and woodwinds are featured under an ostinato in the upper voices. Very reasonable in both rhythm and register, this is a great addition to any holiday concert. (2:10).
About FJH Young Band
Appropriate for middle school and smaller high school groups. Second clarinets usually stay below the break. Parts are written with more independence, and instrumentation increases slightly. There is still adequate doubling in the lower voices. Grades 2 - 2.5
