Product Description

Four Joyous Noels from 18th Century France by Michel Richard de Lalande (1657-1726), edited and set for flexible trio by John Gibson. These may be performed using flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, or violin on part 1; flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, or violin on part 2; and bassoon, cello, or Bb bass clarinet on the Bass part. These trios are de Lalande's arrangements of popular Christmas Noels of the time and they were first published after his death c. 1740. The source material was found in the Bibliotheque nationale de France and is used by permission of the library for this setting. This was an interesting task, as the source was a copy of the original publication that was difficult to read and used clefs and musical notation that is not used today. Some articulations and slurs were added, although they are optional according to the performer's wishes. The marks, "+" in the parts were interpreted as trills, although the performer may use any common Baroque period ornamentation desired.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
