Watch the Youtube videoA clever education idea of a volume of fragmented Christmas Carols/Songs where the carols will only be recognisable if most of the pitches and rhythms are correct (providing much hilarity and much needed festive fun on the run up to what can be a very stressful period). Written by Keri Degg (a UK woodwind teacher/composer passionate about music education).
The pieces are simply numbered 1 through to 24 (not given the song titles) so even the leader won't know the tune beforehand....however, the song titles are given on the back page of the score, so nil desperanum if the ensemble plays so badly that you need to actually discover what it was supposed to be! ;D
The collection includes 12 Christmas Carols/well known Christmas tunes as a fragmented melody only option (think saxophone handbells?!) and then the same 12 pieces but with the addition of a harmony line added (also fragmented!) so at any time a player could be playing a melody note followed by harmony notes etc...the parts when viewed separately seem nonsense!
Great fun for small ensembles in the Christmas season.
A great collection to bring out year after year!
Festive Fragments is available for three same saxophones, three same clarinets, AAT saxophone trio, and flute/flute, clarinet/clarinet, saxophone/saxophone duet editions.
