This period, also known as Twelvetide, spans from December 25 (Christmas Day) to January 6 (Epiphany), marking the time between the birth of Jesus and the arrival of the Magi. Historical ContextThe tradition of the 12 days was formalized by the Council of Tours in 567, which proclaimed this time a sacred season, emphasizing the importance of celebration and reflection during this period. Each day is associated with various saints and religious observances, making it a time of spiritual significance for many Christians.The Carol and Its MeaningThe well-known carol The Twelve Days of Christmas lists a series of increasingly extravagant gifts given on each of the twelve days. Although it is often perceived as a simple festive song, there are theories about its deeper meanings. One popular but debunked theory suggests that the gifts symbolize elements of the Christian faith, serving as a secret catechism for Catholics during times of persecution. However, this interpretation lacks substantial historical evidence and is considered more of a myth than fact. Cultural PracticesCulturally, the 12 Days of Christmas have evolved into various traditions, including gift-giving, feasting, and festive gatherings. In some cultures, gifts are exchanged on January 6, celebrated as Three Kings Day, while others may celebrate throughout twelve days. The carol likely originated as a memory game for children, intended to be fun and engaging rather than a severe religious text. In summary, the 12 Days of Christmas represent a blend of religious significance, historical tradition, and cultural celebration, making it an enduring aspect of the Christmas season.

Published by Forton Music - Digital (F2.FM394). ISBN 9790570482931.Solo Alto Flute (or concert flute) - The Hourglass is a piece cast in four movements.

Rhythmically the music has a certain syncopated feel, which adds elements of apprehension, excitement and anticipation to the musical discourse.

This edition: piano reduction with solo parts. Downloadable, Piano reduction with solo parts. Duration 25 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q41790. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q41790). The concerto takes the historical figure of the brutal impaler Vlad Tzepesch (1431-1476) as its starting point and subsequently develops the myth into an overwrought and gruesome piece of work: 1: “Oderint dum metuant� is a raving Allegro with a Baroque ritornello structure and modern “Draculisms�. 2: “Luna su Tirgoviste� is a memoriam for the thousands of impaled victims who came to a violent end in today’s Târgoviste. 3: “Il ballo transilvano� confronts a naive waltz rhythm with aggressive polyrhythmic reinterpretations – in the manner of the stick and the carrot. 4: “Bacio di sangue� is Neo-Baroque horror music which has got out of hand, demanding extreme virtuosity from both soloists and ensemble.

Sounds can be heard of priests chanting, bells chiming, and the organ playing, from across the sea.
