Product Description
Embellish your Christmas event with this original
arrangement of Hark the Herald Angels Sing, one of the most popular Christmas
Carols of all time. It is number five in our Trumpet Christmas Carol Duets
series.
This trumpet duet arrangement of Hark the Herald Angels Sing is just at two
minutes long with two verses and some extra-thematic material. The first verse
is relatively conservative, being vey similar to the arrangements in Eddie
Lewis Unadorned Trumpet Hymns series. The second verse of the Christmas carol
is more elaborated with fanfares and sixteenth-note embellishments.
Most importantly, the second verse, while it is just a
little more creative than the first, remains true to the mood and harmonies of
the original Christmas carol. This is the main objective of this Trumpet
Christmas Carols Duets series. It is a sequel to the Trumpet Hymn Duets series,
which is now a book. Our objective with that book was always to honor the mood
and harmonies of the original hymns. This book is a continuation of that
series, focusing on the Christmas music of traditional Christian churches.
Other Christmas carols in this trumpet duet series include:
1)
The First Noel
2)
Silent Night
3)
Joy to the World
4)
O Holy Night
There are no tempo changes in this arrangement until you get
to the very end. This is a little unusual for Eddie Lewis duets in this series
but remember the main objective, we are trying to honor the original mood of
the Christmas carol. The original Christmas carol is almost march like. The
pulse feels like it should continue, uninterrupted.
