Composed by David Ahrens. Christmas,Contest,Festival,Folk,Holiday,Multicultural,World. Score and parts. 64 pages. Baseline Music Publishing #736349. Published by Baseline Music Publishing (A0.1136342).A fantasy for concert band based on Greenlandic composer Rasmus Berthelsen's beloved Christmas hymn "Guuterput". The original hymn is a blending of traditional Inuit Inukkuut drum songs with the protestant Christian hymns of Denmark. Present in this reimagining of the folk song are a chorale style hymn statement, solos for many instruments (particularly Euphonium), prominent mallet percussion, and full band chorale singing approximating the portamento and great reverence found in the Inukkuut style. Program something new and different for this Christmas program and expose your band and audience to some of the culture and tradition of Greenland.
