Woodwind Ensemble, Woodwind Quintet Bassoon, Clarinet, Flute, French Horn, Horn, Oboe - Level 2 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1548703
Composed by Hector Berlioz. Arranged by Hugh Levey. This edition: audio, pdf, streaming. 19th Century, Chamber, Christmas, Holiday, Religious. 18 pages. Woodwindly.com #1121196. Published by woodwindly.com (A0.1548703).
The Shepherds' Farewell (L’Adieu des Bergers) is a well-known chorus from Hector Berlioz’s oratorio, L’Enfance du Christ, Opus 25. The full oratorio was first performed in Paris in 1854, but the Shepherds' Farewell was written four years earlier; originally as an organ work. This is an ideal piece for Christmas concerts and services.
Berlioz is best known for his large scale works like Grande Messes des Morts, Les Troyens, and his Symphonie Fantastique, but the Shepherd’s Farewell shows that he was equally adept at gentler and more subdued composition. Despite its gentleness, The Shepherds' Farewell has a strong emotional power. It is often sung as a Christmas Carol.
In this transcription for Wind Quintet, the parts mirror the SATB chorus exactly, with flute and oboe sharing the melody. The brief introduction and the subsequent interludes between the verses were originally scored for two oboes and two clarinets, so it is really effective with a Wind Quintet. This arrangement can be used to accompany a choir, singing the original chorus parts. However, it is a semitone higher than the original, so the sopranos may not thank you for having to sing a top A!
