The Christmas Star’ was born while I was composing the anniversary piece for the Nottuln Wind Music Association, when I became convinced that the melody would also sound beautiful as a choral work. Later, a colleague encouraged me to arrange it for wind instruments as well — and here we are!
Grading: 3
Duration: 2'00 min
Year: 2016
The choral piece is based on the text of the same name by Franz von Pocci. Both the original version and the arrangement for wind instruments are well suited to reverberant sacred spaces.
The vocal range is relatively wide, particularly if the choral setting is transposed up by a semitone for compatibility. Otherwise, the piece presents no major technical challenges and may be classified as level 3 for wind players.
