Chistmascenen (7 Holiday Songs after Robert Schumann)
Digital Sheet Music
By Jeffrey Reid Baker

Item Number: A0.803110

The Christmascenen (Scenes Of Christmas) is Jeffrey Reid Baker's morphing of Kinderscenen by Robert Schumann into familiar Christmas Classics. The selections are • Joy To The World is cast in the role of a prelude. • O Christmas Tree takes on the nature of a dance resembling a mazurka. • Auld Lang Syne is a complex structure where counterpoint is always present. • Good King Wenceslas has a happy-go-lucky quality. • O Little Town Of Bethlehem is a series of phrases each of which concludes with a short pause. • I Saw Three Ships is a virtuoso romp suggesting a very rough sea. • Jingle Bells, which Schumann has indicated to be played slowly and sensitively, states the verse in minor and the chorus in major for a semi-sweet conclusion. 2016 Holiday Contest Entry
