Description
Beginning with percussion and dissonant chords, this setting of The First Noel quickly moves to a beautiful flute duet. With a freely adapted melody using rhythmic motives, tone clusters, and creative alterations of the main thematic material, this piece although holiday oriented will work well in many performance situations. Every section plays the melody at some point and with modern compositional styles mixed with traditional chorale will engage performers and audiences alike. A great choice for holiday and Christmas concerts.
