Celebration! (In Dulci Jubilo) (Wind Band) Kevin Norbury

VIEW SCORE PDFThis rousing and pulsating work by Kevin Norbury forms part of the suite A Renaissance Christmas, also published by BrookWright Music. It is based on three popular carols - In Dulci Jubilo, Good Christian men, rejoice! and Ding-dong merrily on high.This magnificent 13th-century melody was also a part of Michael Praetorius's collection. It is traditionally associated with the words 'Good Christian men, rejoice!' The opening is a straight transcription of the great chorale prelude for organ by J.S.Bach. After the grandeur of the opening, the tune is heard in more of a 'folky' style. A lot of related melodic material is then presented before the tune Ding-dong merrily on high is heard. After another episode of previously used music In Dulci Jubilo reappears in a joyful conclusion to the piece.Sheet music available from:UK: www.wind-band-music.co.ukUSA: www.solidbrassmusic.comDifficulty Level: Medium-EasyInstrumentation:PiccoloFluteOboeBassoonClarinet in Bb 1-2Bass Clarinet in BbAlto Saxophone in Eb 1-2Tenor Saxophone in BbBaritone Saxophone in EbTrumpet in Bb 1-2Horn in F 1-2Trombone 1-2EuphoniumTubaDouble BassTimpaniGlockenspielTubular BellsTambourineSnare DrumTenor Drum
