The best way to develop ensemble musicianship is through the thoughtful exploration and performance of great literature. In this spirit, Dr. Peter Folliard presents The Bach Initiative, a collection of twenty-six wonderful Bach chorales for instrumental ensembles of any type, size, or level. The Bach Initiative includes each chorale in its original four-part harmonization for all members of the ensemble, giving instrumentalists the unique yet important opportunity to see the full score—and to better understand how each part interacts with the whole. As a result, players naturally develop greater awareness, sensitivity, and intuition. The chorales are intentionally transcribed for flexibility, so any individual may play any part at any time. And while the pedagogical applications are virtually endless, Folliard provides more than a dozen creative variations for rehearsing these chorales that are certain to enhance multiple aspects of ensemble musicianship. The Bach Initiative also offers pedagogical information, including insightful scholarship about intonation, instrument ranges, and appropriate articulation. Folliard also provides a succinct discussion of chord analysis, non-chord tones, and voice leading. The undisputed quality and relative brevity of the Bach chorales make them perfect for the rehearsal room and the concert hall. And the convenient and creative way in which they are presented in The Bach Initiative is certain to inspire new levels of musicianship in bands, orchestras, and other instrumental ensembles of all levels.

Based on the well-known German carol Es ist ein Ros entsprungen here is a great set of variations skilfully crafted by Roland Kernen. Utilising Bach-esque chorales with solo lines this is a perfect piece to enhance your holiday program. One not to be missed! Het bekende koraal Es ist ein Ros entsprungen (Er is een roos ontloken) werd geschreven door de Duitse componist Michael Praetorius (1571-1621). Roland Kernen heeft op basis van dit koraal verscheidene variaties geschreven,die samen het luisterrijke werk Christmas Variations vormen. Na een pakkende, fortissimo opening wordt het koraal op verschillende manieren geëxposeerd. De eerste variatie is een lichtvoetige behandeling van het koraal. Dedaaropvolgende gedragen variatie vormt hiermee een mooi contrast. Na een kort tussenspel volgt het slot, waarin het koraal nog tweemaal in volle glorie de revue passeert. Het werk sluit daarmee net zo majestueus af als het begonRoland Kernen schrieb eine Reihe Variationen über den bekannten Choral Es ist ein Ros’ ensprungen von Michael Praetorius, die zusammen das großartige Werk Christmas Variations bilden. Nach einer reizvollen, sehr schnellen Eröffnung wird der Choral auf verschiedene Weisen präsentiert: zuerst fröhlich, dann feierlich. Nach einem kurzen Zwischenspiel folgt der Schluss, in dem der Choral zwei Mal in all seiner Pracht Revue passiert. Le célèbre choral Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen (D’un arbre séculaire) a été écrit par le compositeur allemand Michael Praetorius (1571-1621). Christmas Variations de Roland Kernen est suite de variations sur ce choral. La celebre corale Es ist ein Ros entsprungen fu scritta dal compositore tedesco Michael Praetorius (1571-1621). Christmas Variations di Roland Kernen è una splendida suite di variazioni su questa corale.
