SKU: A0.944202

Composed by Traditional French Carol. Arranged by Ryan Putt. Christmas. Score and parts. 15 pages. Brasswood Publishing, LLC #6018685. Published by Brasswood Publishing, LLC (A0.944202).

This arrangement of the popular Christmas carol opens with a fragmented melody and bell tones in the low brass. The first section follows a more traditional harmonization of the melody with the trumpets providing an ornamental statement of the Gloria. The trombone takes over the melody at the key change, ultimately handing it off to the horn for the final Gloria to bring the piece to a close. The trumpets frequently provide an ornamental harmony that floats above the rest of the ensemble, with trombone adding to this in the final bars of the piece. This arrangement would be an exciting addition to any holiday concert. Accessible and challenging for each member of the ensemble.

SKU: A0.1130062

Composed by English Folk Song by way of American Appalachians. Arranged by F. Leslie Smith. Celtic,Children,Folk,Irish,Traditional,Wedding. Score and parts. 28 pages. Sweetwater Brass Press #730439. Published by Sweetwater Brass Press (A0.1130062).

The origins of this lullaby can be traced back to 15^th-century England. Pioneers from the British Isles brought it with them to the American Appalachians. Written in three verses, its lyrics tell of four seemingly impossible gifts the singer gave my love. The first verse describes each gift: cherry that has no stone, a chicken that has no bone. a story that has no end and a baby with no cryin'. The second verse poses the riddle: how can such items exist? The third provides the answers:

A cherry when it's bloomin', it has no stone.

A chicken when it's pippin', it has no bone.

The story of I love you, it has no end.

A baby when it's sleepin', has no cryin'.

This Riddle Song has enjoyed somewhat of a revival since mid-20^th century, making appearances in various movies, TV shows and recordings. In 1956, Jerry Livingston and Paul Francis adapted The Riddle Song tune, added an original bridge and created new lyrics; Johnny Mathis recorded it as The Twelfth of Never, giving the haunting melody probably its greatest surge in popularity.

This arrangement is in G major and opens with an upbeat introduction. For the first statement of the melody, tempo slows and Trumpets alternate the lead. On the second time through, tempo speeds up slightly and tuba takes the lead. For the third, tempo is back to the opening speed and Horn in F plays the melody. On the fourth time through, Trumpets and Trombone frame the tune in a call-and-response form. In the fifth, Trombone takes the lead. In the sixth and final statement, Horn in F and Trombone play melody at half speed while Trumpets play a fairly complicated counterpoint (at what may seem like double speed!). This, until the last phrase (A baby when it's sleepin'), when the melody switches over to Trumpets and Trombone takes the counterpoint.

Trumpet 1 plays its A above the staff a number of times. Tuba's lowest note is its F down below the staff. Otherwise, notes for all instruments are well within normal playing range. Because of the recommended tempo, the countermelody at measures 68-83 could be problematic for Trumpets and Trombone and may require a little extra work.

Completed in 2022, performance time runs about 3 minutes, 42 seconds. The arranger, Les Smith, will be happy to provide substitute parts (for example, treble clef baritone for trombone) at no charge. He would like to receive your suggestions, comments, corrections and criticisms.
