Rejoice and be Merry - James Curnow

This heart-warming Christmas selection makes use of three complementary carols Rejoice and Be Merry, The First Noel and We Wish You a Merry Christmas in creative and artistic ways. While preparing for your winter concert, this is a perfect vehicle to establish the foundational concepts of good phrasing and balance with your young group. Bringing these items into focus early in the academic year will pay dividends as your year progresses. In addition there are enough contrasting style considerations to make this a remarkably good teaching tool on many levels. Quality!

Rejoice In Glorious Hope - Claude T. Smith

Another in a series of symphonic works based on a chorale; this being Rejoice the Lord is King. Strong rhythmic patterns in percussion and woodwinds against a melodic motive boldly stated by the brass open this intense concert work. A calm development section in the middle featuring solos by euphonium and trumpet leads to a full lush statement of the chorale before ending with powerful ensemble writing above driving percussion. A truly masterful setting for the symphonic concert band.

Rejoice! - Douglas E. Wagner

Rejoice! - Naoya Wada

Rejoice! was commissioned by the Kitakyushu City Foundation for Promoting Arts and Culture (KICPAC) on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the city on Feburary 10, 1063. The composer grew up in this city and feels at home there. Kitakyushu was born from the merger of five municipalities of Moji, Kokura, Tobata, Yahata and Wakamatsu centred on the ancient city of Kokura. These five former cities are represented in five themes in distinct keys at the beginning of the piece: G major, e major, g major again, Bb major and F major. Rejoice! is dedicated to the city of Kitakyushu and Mr. Kenji Kitahashi, mayor of the city. The premire was held on March3, 2013 at the Kitakyushu Soleil Hall, performed by the Comfort Wind Ensemble, conducted by Mr. Satoru Yoshihara.
