This cycle of carols, to the poetry of Christina Rossetti, was assembled piecemeal over a number of years, gradually acquiring a larger dramatic and harmonic arch shape as new settings were added. I was particularly attracted to Rossetti's conflation of the dark, fallow winter landscape with that of the soul waiting for salvation. The cycle traces the long nights of watchfulness before Christmas, with the great event constantly deferred, only glimpsed periodically in different visions before the music turns inward again to contemplation. The opening carol embodies this spirit, with passages of diffuse, roving harmony interspersed with meditative, lyrical pedals, calling out the night watch and dreaming of a far-off summer of the spirit. Earth Grown Old is a kind of double carol, setting two complete poems, their lines at first presented separately as a still, expectant chorale and a jubilant dance, then progressively interwoven toward a fervent climax before once again receding into quiet. In the bleak mid-winter, which sets a highly compressed version of Rossetti's original poem, presents an enfeebled landscape frozen in time, in dire need of deliverance. A gentle melody weaves its way through static drones, broken by an angels' chorus announcing the joy to come. Love Came Down at Christmas ends the waiting, with its gently falling, overlapping lines building to a final revelation, the mystery of Christmas at last made real.

Jacob de Haan arranged four Christmas carols in the suite Four Shepherd Songs. In the four-part instrumentation, creating the possibility to play the piece with a large number of varied strengths, he successively arranged Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht, Inmitten der Nacht, Kommet ihr Hirten, and Ihr Hirten, erwacht. The arrangement was skillfully replenished with suitable percussion instruments. All of the carols can be performed with a choir (German text). Four Shepherd Songs beautifully enriches the Christmas repertoire.Jacob de Haan bewerkte vier kerstliederen in de suite Four Shepherd Songs. In een vierstemmige instrumentatie, die de mogelijkheid biedt om het werk met een groot scala aan gevarieerde bezettingen te spelen, bewerkte hij achtereenvolgens:Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht, Inmitten der Nacht, Kommet ihr Hirten en Ihr Hirten, erwacht. De vierstemmige instrumentatie werd vakkundig aangvuld met gepast slagwerk. Daarnaast kunnen alle liederenmet koor (Duitse tekst) uitgevoerd worden. De Four Shepherd Songs vormen hierdoor een verrijking van het kerstrepertoire.Jacob de Haan hat vier Weihnachtslieder bearbeitet und zu der Suite Four Shepherd Songs (Vier Hirtenlieder) zusammengefügt. Die vierstimmige Bearbeitung, die eine Aufführung mit vielen und unterschiedlich großen Besetzungen erlaubt, wurde mit Schlagzeug effektvoll angereichert. Alle vier Lieder können zudem mit einem Chor (deutscher Text) aufgeführt werden uns sind somit eine echte Bereicherung des weihnachtlichen Repertoires. Four Shepherd Songs (“Quatre chants de bergersâ€) est une suite de quatre noëls traditionnels allemands. L’harmonisation quatre voix avec percussion offre un vaste choix de combinaisons instrumentales. Pour réaliser cet arrangement brillant, Jacob de Haan a rassemblé les chants Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht, Inmitten der Nacht, Kommet Ihr Hirten et Ihr Hirten, erwacht. Cette pièce peut également être interprétée avec un Chœur mixte (SATB). Le set chœur [texte en allemand] est vendu séparément (réf. : DHP 1012653-050).Nella suite Four Shepherd Songs (Quattro canti di pastori), Jacob de Haan ha arrangiato per banda quattro canti natalizi tedeschi, Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht, Inmitten der Nacht, Kommet Ihr Hirten e Ihr Hirten, erwacht, con la possibilit di eseguirli con una qualsiasi strumentazione variabile. La strumentazione a quattro parti è stata arrangiata abilmente e completata con le percussioni. Inoltre, tutti i canti possono essere eseguiti assieme ad un coro (con testo in lingua tedesca).

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.
