A trio of flutes playing a Christmas carol with handbells creates a joyous, even angelic, sound. Suitable for special music or a Lessons and Carols service, it does equally well when played as a studio recital piece or holiday celebration.

On Christmas night all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring.
News of great joy, news of great mirth,
News of our merciful King's birth.

This short composition is an exercise based on counterpoint and

contrapuntal harmony. It is scored for three flutes and It has been

written in C# Minor. Counterpoint builds texure by taking a number

of melody lines and overlapping them. You will see I have composed

three lines and moved the top and bottom lines in contrary motion

as heard in such polyphony as Thomas Talice's Spem in Alium

A mixture between the key signature, the orchestration and the

various time signature jumps gives this piece it's folky feel. I started

my composition in the triad of C# minor and us the melodies developed

I ended up crossing between the chords of F# minor, D# and E minor

these various chords help to keep the piece interesting.
