Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Jim Fieldhouse. Christmas,Contemporary,Holiday,Praise & Worship. 21 pages. Nefarious Music Publications #4981907. Published by Nefarious Music Publications (A0.875876).Arranged here for saxophone quartet, this version has been carefully scored to allow it to work as both a seasonal concert piece or as an audience sing-along item.
The melodic line is always presented in the traditional manner, to allow audiences to join in with the words, whilst the accompanying parts weave through a variety of styles and harmonisations to keep things interesting!
The Twelve Days of Christmas is scored for standard S/A/T/B saxophone quartet and is graded as an advanced title (around ABRSM grades 6+)
There are many dynamic, articulation and tempo directions within this score and ensembles should take care to balance the group in such a way as to ensure the melody is always audible.
This arrangement should start at a controlled allegro tempo and get gradually faster over course of the twelve verses. The metronome marks are simply a guide and quartets should feel free to alter tempos to suit their own interpretations.
