(Text)
Der Text zu As with Gladness, Men of Old wurde in den 1860er Jahren vom Engländer William Dix (1837-1898) geschrieben, und zwar angeblich am Dreikönigstag, als er krank im Bett lag. Die Weise war in einer Sammlung deutscher Choräle enthalten, die von Conrad Kocher herausgegeben und in den 1830er Jahren veröffentlicht wurde. Ein Beweis für die flexible Verwendung dieser Musik ist die Tatsache, dass das Loblied auch zu Erntedank unter dem Titel For the Beauty of the Earth gesungen wird. Statt ein Sopransolo mit Begleitung zu favorisieren, will diese Bearbeitung für Saxophonquartett alle Spieler ins Musizieren einbeziehen, insbesondere durch Verteilung des melodischen Materials auf alle Mitwirkenden. Außerdem sind alle - minimal gekennzeichneten - dynamischen Zeichen und Artikulationsbezeichnungen als reine Empfehlungen zu verstehen, denn die Musiker sind angehalten, ihre eigenen Interpretationen zu spielen.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 grew in the 20th century, and has lead to the popularity it presently enjoys.The lyrics for As with Gladness, Men of Old were written by the Englishman William Dix (1837 - 1898) in the 1860s, reportedly on the day of the Epiphany while Dix was sick in bed. The tune was included in a collection of German chorales edited by Conrad Kocher and published in the 1830s. As a testimony to the flexibility of such music, the hymn is also sung during Thanksgiving under the title For the Beauty of the Earth. This arrangement for saxophone quartet, rather than favouring 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, minimally marked, should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations.Instrumentation:4 saxophones (SATBar)
