Silent Midwinter's Noel

This fantasia on three traditional Christmas carols uses In the Bleak Midwinter; Silent Night and The First Noel as its compositional base. Written in easily performable keys to help players achieve excellent intonation, use this piece to work on the production of each instrument's characteristic sounds. Careful attention to the harmonic cadences will also teach performers about tension and resolution and their place in musical expression. A perfect complement to a faster holiday selection, this carol-based composition with a modern setting will be a favorite with all.
