This version is arranged as a duet for one Violin and one Clarinet.Hava Nagila was originally a Nigun melody thought to have originated in the Ukraine.

The pdf file contains score and parts. The sound sample is an electronic preview. Rosa divina que en gentil cultura eres, con tu fragrante sutileza. Magisterio purpureo en la belleza, enseñanza nevada a la hermosura. Amago de la humana arquitectura, ejemplo de la vana gentileza. En cuyo ser unio naturaleza la cuna alegre y triste sepultura, cuan altiva en tu pompa premusida soberbia. El riesgo de morir desdeñas. Y luego desmayada y encogida. De tu caduco ser das mustias señas. Con que con docta muerte y necia vida, viviendo engañas, muriendo enseñas. (Translation) Divine rose, you who are so finely cultivated with your fragrant sweetness and magisterial purple, teaching snowy white beauty. You are the image of human architecture, in whose being nature is united. You have a happy grave and you scorn death in your pride. Then struck down, you teach us in your frailty. Your life is vain, you deceive us in your life. Your death is learnèd, you teach us in your death.

Click on the YouTube link above to listen to a full length performance of this arrangement played on Clarinet.The melody of O Christmas Tree is Polish in origin and dates back to the sixteenth century. The lyrics we know and love were added much later by German composer Ernst Anschütz in 1824. The lyrics were originally a homage to the fir tree, using the evergreen foliage as a metaphor for constancy and loyalty. The association with Christmas appeared later in the nineteenth century.With a performance time of three minutes and a half minutes, this version of O Christmas Tree is perfect for seasonal celebrations and concert performances, both formal and informal. The jazz waltz style is a fun and fresh take on this familiar traditional tune.O Christmas Tree is arranged in a key and range best suited to the instruments. Rhythms are syncopated, as one would expect in jazz waltz music, and there is plenty of articulation detail to help deliver an authentic style. While the key is straightforward, there are several busy passages to keep players on their toes. The melody is played four times, the last in 4/4 time with a short coda. This arrangement is suitable for players at an intermediate level.
