Description
(Short description)
This American traditional carol seemed to blend well with Pachelbel's Canon, and performers are urged not to take a beginning tempo too fast that would rush the coming eighth notes. The arrangement distributes the melodic material throughout all four parts.Besetzung:4 Saxophone (SATBar)
(Text)
"Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" ist ein traditionelles amerikanisches Weihnachtslied eines nicht bekannten Komponisten. Aber Sankt Nikolaus selbst ist mit einem Priester verbunden, der in Kleinasien diente. Als Erzbischof in der Küstenstadt Myra geweiht, wurde Sankt Nikolaus zu einem Schutzheiligen der Russisch-Orthodoxen Kirche. Der Legende nach war er Kindern gegenüber großzügig und freundlich und übte sich des Nachts im Beschenken. Diese reizende und sanfte Weise schien gut mit Pachelbels Kanon zu harmonieren, und die Interpreten sind gehalten, zu Beginn ein nicht zu schnelles Tempo anzuschlagen, da die folgenden Achtelnoten sonst überstürzt gespielt würden.Schwierigkeitsgrad: 2-3

(Text)
Hymns and Carols are the two main sources for the melodies that are associated with traditional Christmas music. While hymns are predominately sacred, the historical roots of carols are in religious and pagan folk music and dance. The latter association with pagan and dance music has throughout history brought carols alternatively in and out of favor with Christmas worship. Fortunately, interest in Christmas music has grown in the 20th century, and has led to the popularity it presently enjoys.Jolly Old Saint Nicholas is an American traditional carol by an anonymous composer. But St. Nicholas himself is associated with a priest serving in Asia Minor. Consecrated as Archbishop in Myra, a coastal town, St. Nicholas was made a patron Saint of the Russian Orthodox Church. Legend has it that he was generous and kind to children and practiced gift giving in secrecy at night. This charming, gentle tune seemed to blend well with Pachelbel's Canon, and performers are urged not to take a beginning tempo too fast that would rush the coming eighth notes.This arrangement for saxophone quartet, rather than favoring a soprano solo with accompaniment, strives to include all the players in the music making, particularly by distributing melodic material. In addition, all dynamics and articulations should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations.Instrumentation:4 saxophones (SATBar)
