This piece is fascinating by it's wonderful sonorous melody in the lower position of the violins. Like the "Chanson de Nuit" it is based on an opus for violin and piano. The small orchestra corresponds to Elgar's original intention. The piano part is inalterable to play the very important chord of the harp.Hörbeispiel - Audio example

This march from 1901, which Edward VII wanted for his coronation celebrations, is underlaid with the words "Land of Hope and Glory" and became almost more popular than the official British national anthem God Save the Queen (King). Here is a version for youth orchestra, whose instrumentation is based on the original. Some parts have been combined, others added. All in all, the piece is relieved, but does not lose any of its outstanding tonal effect.

Elgar completed the work in July 1888, when he became engaged to Caroline Alice Roberts. He called it in German "Liebesgruß", since Miss Roberts spoke German fluently. The piece was his own personal engagement gift.

Primordially composed for violin and piano, this version is based on Elgar's original instrumentation. A new key and slight changes in instrumentation and setting make this delightful piece playable for your orchestra. Hörbeispiel - Audio example        .

An interesting composition by the Danish master. The 6 little piano pieces - here in an orchestral version - range from tender and contemplative to dance-like grazioso and rhythmically accentuated fortissimo. The keys have been made easier in some cases, and the resulting sound is richly differentiated. The rather simple opus for piano became an effective piece for your Christmas concert.Audio example 1 & 2Audio example 3Audio example 4 - 6

Whether the present piece is really by Giuseppe Giordani is not entirely certain. For a long time, his brother Tomaso was thought to be the composer. In the present arrangement, the first section is set for a solo soprano, then a repetition with three-part choir (soprano, alto, bass) follows. The key has been transposed from F major to E-flat major, making it easier especially for the vocal parts.

A version of the well-known title for youth orchestra and soprano (solo or choral). Gounod's lyrical melody with dramatic development - congenially set over Bach's 1st Prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier Volume 1 - is presented in various instrumental combinations. The 16th-figure from Bach's work appears in the strings, the woodwinds and the piano.

The chosen key is similar to the soprano voice in its range, it is not too heavy for a well-trained student voice or choir.

All in all it is a beautiful piece for a festive occasion and is also suitable for a Christmas concert.

The impressive, wonderful filigree piece - supplemet to the opera "Goyescas" - in a version for youth orchestra. Spanish music: first a distinctive Flamenco phrase in the whole orchestra, then a beguilingly sonorous melody, increasing to a climax with blaring brass. Then a retrogression to the end with melodic fragments of the beginning.
