Fantasia on O Come, O Come Emmanuel
Publisher Desc.
Your Woodwind Quintet will enjoy playing this inventive and stirring
setting of the great Advent/Christmas hymn "O Come, O Come
Emmanuel" (VENI EMMANUEL). Composed in a Neo-Renaissance style, it sets
all seven verses modulating into four keys while passing the melody from
voice to voice before concluding with several sudden and surprising key
changes that lead to a powerful cadence on the altered note of the Picardy
third. It may be performed alone or with a choir. An optional keyboard part
is provided. The choral editions are published in either English (S0.1144315)
or Latin (S0.1144377). They are the first of Three Motets on Latin Christmas
Hymns. The other motets in this series are settings of "Of the Father's
Love Begotten" (CORDE NATUS EX PARENTIS) and "O Come, All Ye
Faithful" (ADESTE FIDELIS), both of which are also available in English
or Latin. For more music and information visit www.jubalslyre.com/music.
