Stimmensatz ( keine Partitur)
25 Hornquartette / 2 Trios
Arrangements u.a. von Holst, Glazunov, Humperdinck, Liszt ...

Far beyond the usual Christmas carols, composers over the centuries have created original music that evokes the Yule season. These 25 horn quartet (and 2 trio) arrangements of works by Glazunov, Holst, Humperdinck, Liszt, Purcell, et al., will make programming a substantial and varied Christmas concert an easy task.

Whether meant originally for performa/nce in church, in the home, or in concert halls, this collection houses music by composers who often had a personal connection to the holiday. They sometimes portray specifics of the Christmas story, from lullabies in the manger, to portraits of angels, shepherds, or the three kings. Other pieces create a more secular Christmas mood, evoking a snowy forest or a sleigh ride (though on occasion they craftily weave portions of Christmas carols into the musical fabric). Each draws from different European Yule traditions, from the folk-tinged directness of Scandinavian composers to the insightful humanity of the French, and from the orthodox solidity of the Russians to the mellow contenance angloise of English composers.

The quartet arrangements here eliminate aggravations like old bass clef and over-complicated key signatures. However, ample courtesy accidentals and recovery breaks from upper register play (especially in the first horn parts) have been added.
A healthy mix of musical styles is a plus for both performers and audience, so choices range from John Taverner (born c. 1490) to Alban Berg (born 1885).
