The First Nowell is a traditional Christmas song that can be traced back to the 18th century. The word â??nowellâ? is in fact derived the French word for Christmas, â??noelâ?. The First Nowell is sung in Englishspeaking countries around the world, although the actual text may vary by region and local customs. The simple and beautiful melody has made this carol a Christmas favourite. Lorenzo Bocci turns the melody into an elegant flexible four-part arrangement.

The First Nowell is een traditioneel kerstlied dat vermoedelijk uit het Cornwall (Engeland) van de achttiende eeuw stamt. Het woord â??Nowellâ?? in de titel verwijst naar het Franse woord voor kerst: noël. In heel het Engelstalige gebiedwordt dit lied gezongen, weliswaar met verschillenden teksten. Dankzij de eenvoudige maar ontroerende melodie is het lied over de gehele wereld bekend. Lorenzo Bocci maakte er een arrangement voor vijfstemmige variabele bezettingvan. Lieflijk en hartverwarmendâ?¦

The First Nowell ist ein traditionelles Weihnachtslied, das vermutlich aus dem Cornwall des 18. Jahrhunderts stammt. Das Wort Nowellâ?? im Titel geht auf das französische Noëlâ?? fu?r Weihnachten zuru?ck. Das Lied wird zu unterschiedlichen Textversionen im gesamten englischen Sprachraum gesungen und ist dank seiner schlichten, ergreifenden Melodie auf der ganzen Welt bekannt. Diese schöne Melodie machte Lorenzo Bocci mit seinem Arrangement fu?r eine vierstimmig variable Bläserbesetzung spielbar.

Le mot Nowellâ?? dans le titre de cette chanson traditionnelle de Noël datant du XVIIIe siècle et dont lâ??origine se situe dans les Cornouailles en Angleterre, fait référence au mot français Noël. Lorenzo Bocci a façonné un élégant arrangement pour ensemble instrumentation variable quatre voix de cette mélodie, accessible et ravissante, faisant de ce chant un choral de prédilection dans le monde entier.

La parola â??nowellâ? di questo canto tradizionale natalizio datato del XVIII secolo e originario della Cornovaglia, fa riferimento alla parola francese â??Noelâ? (appunto Natale). Lorenzo Bocci ne ha realizzato un elegante arrangiamento per ensemble a strumentazione variabile (quattro voci).

** This is the spiral-bound edition for instruments other than keyboard and guitar.   The third volume in this popular series, Revival III features arrangements of fourteen familiar Christmas carols for contemporary ensembles. Christmas carols, like many traditional hymns, are often arranged for four-part choir and organ. With this collection, Tony Alonso focuses instead on the needs of the piano- or guitar-based ensemble, creating accessible carol arrangements for SAB voices, piano, and guitar. Also included is an optional alternate harmonization for the final stanza of each piece featuring a soprano descant. Although these arrangements can be utilized as choral anthems, they are truly intended to lead and inspire congregational song. They are compatible with the texts found in GIA’s hymnals and yet can be edited easily to agree with the version of the carol most familiar to the assembly.
