Product Description

*** 2018 Holiday Contest Entry ***

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen has been revamped to fit a more jazz-focused sound within the parameters of the brass quintet. The intro follows the second half of the original carol before breaking into a more upbeat fast-paced romp that trades the melody across all the instruments. It is a shorter piece that demands the technique of some syncopation and embellishments on the main theme. Each part is important between the melody and chord building with many chords having an added 7th and 9th to contextually bring this piece to the next level. This version transposes from F minor to G minor for an ease of performance in intermediate-level chamber ensembles. For a slightly more advanced version, which tests the range of the horn and the dexterity of the trumpets in a different transposition, follow the link (https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/god-rest-ye-merry-gentlemen-digital-sheet-music/20820430).

This purchase includes a full 10 page score and each individual part of 2 pages each.

The audio clip is a MIDI export of the piece, so there will be a few discrepancies on how the piece should sound; however the general context is very present throughout.
