Arranged wind quintet

This music was originally attributed to Giovanni Pergolesi, as they were so described in a Mr R. Bremner's original 1780 London publication. They were also arranged later by Hugo Riemann, and were again wrongly attributed to Giovanni Pergolesi.

It is actually the 1st movement of Domenico Gallo's 1st Trio Sonata in G.

It was used by Igor Stravinsky as a basis of the first movement (Sinfonia) of his Neo Classical Ballet Pulcinella.

The Pulcinella Suite for small chamber orchestra and 3 vocalists which was derived from the ballet, was written in 1922 and has no vocal parts. 

This is the original music he used as the basis of the Sinfonia.

But even though Stravinsky used Gallo's (Pergolesi's) melodies and bass lines with little change, he managed to put his own unmistakable stamp on the music through his use of modern harmonies and occasional rhythmic modifications.

My arrangement is of the the original Gallo piece:

The only change I have made is to move the bar lines so that my piece starts, as does Stravinsky's, with a quaver pickup, rather than Gallo's half bar and a quaver pickup.

My arrangement is entirely in 4/4 using Gallo's classical/baroque harmonies.

It does not sound too dissimilar to Stravinsky's which sadly will be in copyright for many years.

Un Flambeau, Jeanette, Isabelle! is a Provençal Christmas song from the 17th century.

This song was first published in 1553 in France. The music is attributed to Nicolas Saboly and the text to Émile Blémont. The song tells the story of two farmers, Jeannette and Isabelle, who are going to milk their cows in a crib in Bethlehem, and find Jesus sleeping in hay. The two women run to Bethlehem to announce to the inhabitants the coming of Christ and the inhabitants come with their torches to see this for themselves. The painter Georges de La Tour painted a Nativity called The Newborn Inspired by the Song. Originally, the song was not a Christmas song but a dance song for the nobles. Little known in France today,
it is most often interpreted by Anglo-Saxons on the occasion of the Christmas holidays, especially in the United States.

The English version is entitled Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!.

This arrangement for wind quintet (in the key of Bb) has 5 verses (with different arrangements) There is a bridge passage at the start, end and between each verse. It is based on a version of the carol found in book of French Carols collected by Julien Tiersot. (Noëls Français) published by Heugel

Composed by Richard Rodgers. Arranged by Ralph Raymond Hays. Contemporary. 23 pages. Ralph Raymond Hays #3631593. Published by Ralph Raymond Hays (A0.720564).

Introduced in the 1957 live television production featuring Julie Andrews (to a record home audience), this endearing tune captures the beauty and magic of love at first sight. CINDERELLA -- one of the final collaborations of Rodgers and Hammerstein -- has been reimagined countless times: in the 1965 television remake starring Leslie Ann Warren and Stuart Damon, the lavish 1997 television production starring Brandy and Whitney Houston, in the recent Broadway production, and in Children's, High School, and Community Theater productions worldwide. Common to all versions is this soaring waltz imbued with the genius and warmth for which Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II are famous.

This lovingly crafted arrangement is perfect for a wedding as well as Valentine's Day, an an anniversary, or a concert tribute to Broadway, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Fairy Tales, or any occasion.
