This beautiful and frequently performed lullaby is thought to be of African American origin. This lovely setting for woodwind quintet is not technically difficult, though because it is soft and slow, it requires a musically mature ensemble for successful performance.

All the Pretty Little Horses

Woodwind Quintet

This is an abridged transcription of the Gloria from John Taverner's 1530 mass, "Western Wynde (Wind)," for flexible brass quartet. Parts are provided for two trumpets (the second is a duplicate of the F horn), F horn, two trombones, optional tuba, and full score. The music, nearly six minutes in length, is supplied with suggestions for reducing the measure count and cutting that performance time to as little as 2:47.

Gloria from Western Wynde Mass

Brass Quartet

Instrument Type

A wonderful organ solo on “Old Hundredth” which is the tune attached to the “Doxology” sung in many Christian worship services today.   The music is highly chromatic and sometimes rhythmically abrupt. Above all, it is intended to follow the definition of doxology which simply means “praise to God.”

Fanfare Prelude on "Old Hundredth"

Organ Solo

One of Ireland’s oldest known carols, the beloved Wexford Carol traces its roots to the town of Enniscorthy and was preserved through centuries of oral tradition. Collected and transcribed in the early 20th century by Dr. William Henry Grattan Flood, it quickly found its place in choral repertoire. First appearing in print in the Oxford Book of Carols (1928), it remains a timeless favorite for choirs around the world.

Brass Sextet

Format

The Finale begins with a soft chorale and ends with what can only be described as a grandiloquent, triumphant conclusion. This adaptation for concert band presents excerpts from the movement scored slightly out of order to facilitate certain harmonic transitions. While not technically difficult, the sustained closing section requires endurance from the entire ensemble. The duration is roughly six minutes.

Four Winds for Christmas

Woodwind Quartet with Piano

Away in a Manger is found in several unique musical settings. Among them, three are utilized in this medley: Cradle Song, Old Normandy Carol, and Mueller. Old Normandy, the central portion of the work, is perhaps the less frequently heard of the three carols, providing contrast by being the only one written in the minor mode.

Cradle Miniatures

Flute, Oboe, Clarinet Trio with Piano

This short arrangement (1:23) based on William J. Kirkpatrick's setting is scored for combined woodwind quintet and brass sextet plus organ. It begins and ends with a single instrument, adding others as it goes and then removing them one by one until the conclusion. While some services of lessons and carols end on a triumphant note, others conclude quietly. The intention of this work is to complement the quiet ending.

Away in a Manger

Woodwind Quintet with Brass Sextet & Organ

A wonderful work to open any concert or service, this arrangement for brass sextet is based on Georges Bizet's harmonization of an ancient epiphany carol. It largely follows Bizet's orchestral score, modified for small ensemble.  For moderately advanced players, it involves some chromaticism as well as range demands for trumpet 1. c. 2:00

March of the Kings

Numerous transcriptions and arrangements have come from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book. Though written for the Virginal, a keyboard instrument preceding the Harpsichord, many of the wonderful pieces lie within the capability of modern wind ensembles. Three of these have been scored in this transcription for Woodwind Quintet. The middle movement requires the hornist to play a drum or tambourine. The variety offered will keep an audience entertained. (Duration – about 5:00)
