Composed by Anon. Arranged by Marilena Zlatanou. Christmas. 30 pages. Marilena Zlatanou #956714. Published by Marilena Zlatanou (A0.1372415).A Selection of Christmas Songs from PIAE CANTIONES for SATB choir
PIAE CANTIONES is a Swedish-Finnish manuscript, the earliest collection of songs from Scandinavia (1580). In this selection of 14 Christmas-songs from this manuscript, the arrangements are presented as found in the original, with very few and simple additions, in an effort to preserve the authenticity of the period-sound. The order of the songs, the choice of number of verses, the voice-part distribution, the noted tempi and dynamics are my own suggestions - choices intent to hopefully be in accordance to what is known on musical practices during the Medieval and Renaissance periods in Scandinavia, and indeed all-over Northern Europe. The original manuscript contained only the vocal parts and may therefore be performed a cappella, or separately, but I dare suggest that all the songs will benefit greatly and work beautifully accompanied by an early music instrumental ensemble, (ex.: lute and fidle), or an organ, to double the voice parts and improvise bridges between the songs. Marked in the score are the places for instrumental improvisations suggested, the length of which is open for the players and the conductor to decide on.
