Sinopse

Gustav HolstâÇÖs âÇÖChoral Fantasy on Old CarolsâÇÖ was composed in 1910, just two years before the similar work, Fantasia on Christmas Carols, by his good friend Ralph Vaughan Williams made its debut. It seems to have been composed for a Christmas concert given in London by Morley College, where the premiere likely took place. The carols employed - Good Christian Men Rejoice, God Rest You Merry Gentlemen, Come Ye Lofty, Come Ye Lowly, and The First Nowell - include a couple also found in the Vaughan Williams work.áThis newly engraved and researched vocal score by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. is based upon the composerâÇÖs manuscript and the first edition vocal score and orchestral parts issued by Novello in the same year it was written. HolstâÇÖs fantasy is shorter by about 5 minutes than the Vaughan Williams and offers a different view of the familiar tunes. Printed in a very readable large size with a chorusâÇÖ needs in mind, this new definitive vocal score will be a welcome addition to choral libraries everywhere. The full conductorâÇÖs score and orchestral parts are also available from Serenissima Music.
