Composed by Anon. Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Christmas,Classical. Recorder Ensemble. 47 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #3861389. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898100).

Five Christmas Carols from the 7th to 16th centuries, arranged for sopranino, descant, treble, tenor, bass and great bass recorders. These atmospheric new arrangements are ideal for any Christmas or pre-Christmas concert, and especially for church performance. The five carols are: Resonet in laudibus (Let the voice of praise resound); There is no rose of swych vertu; Nova! nova! (News! news!); As I rode out this enderes [the other] night; Conditor alme siderum (Creator of the starry height). In each case the original setting is followed by increasingly full harmonies, the sopranino being used as a virtuoso decorative obbligato instrument (for example, providing birdlike sounds in #4, to illustrate the refrain 'so merrily the shepherds their pipes can blow'). Total duration: 7 minutes.

Six stimulating and challenging new arrangements of well-loved European carols for two alto recorders. The carols are: Angels we have heard on high (aka Angels from the realms of glory); John Goss's See, amid the winter's snow; the Czech carol, Out of the Forest a Cuckoo flew (the Zither Carol); Il est né, le divin enfant, which I have combined for a few bars with Willy, beat your little drum (also French). This is followed by Sing, lullaby (the Basque carol Oi Betleem!) and Veni, Emmanuel (O Come, O come, Emmanuel). Some of the arrangements are much simpler than others, so there is something for all abilities.

By Bing Crosby. By Irving Berlin. Arranged by Ander. Chamber,Christmas. Recorder Ensemble. 16 pages. Woods Only, Arrangements #910074. Published by Woods Only, Arrangements (A0.1321601).

I present to you an innovative arrangement of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas for Recorder Quintet. This arrangement breathes new life into the famous melody, playfully tinkering with the original melody, yet maintaining the essence of the original work. It is perfect for any Christmas event, whether as chamber music in recitals, concerts, public shows, or as teaching material for teachers to encourage their music students. White Christmas is a song that harks back to an old-fashioned Christmas setting. The song was written by Berlin for the 1942 musical film, Holiday Inn. This arrangement of White Christmas is a tribute to Berlin’s genius and the timeless beauty of his music. With its playful tweaks to the melody, this arrangement offers a fresh perspective on the beloved song, making it even more special for Christmas celebrations. Purchase this arrangement and bring the magic of Christmas to your music!
