Product Description

This jazz composition is based on the hauntingly beautiful 15th century medieval tune that is commonly used for the Advent carol O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.  I have reharmonized it with the accompaniment in a Key Signature a fifth above that of the melody.  The accompaniment has a broken two chord ostinato throughout written as a walking bass line.  I have altered the melody and moved much of it to the off beats.  As in period early music, I allow occassional dissonances in order to keep the ostinato.  I have chosen 4 of the many historic verses that are more inclusive and general.  This piece makes a wonderfully useful and unique addition to the season's repertoire.  (I have also published several versions on this site for flute or clarinet solo using various instrumental accompaniments as a duet.)  (Also as a piano solo.)
range - melody - 10th, low B to D
3 pages score;  3:17 minutes
