BSX Records presents THE EDWARD DAVID ZELIFF COLLECTION, VOLUME 7, featuring popular Christmas arrangements by Edward David Zeliff for Chorus and Solo Piano.
CHRISTMAS FOR CHAMBER ORCHESTRA
These four arrangements of familiar carols were written for a Christmas concert featuring a hand-picked 34-piece chamber orchestra. The first item, CHRISTMAS OVERTURE, is an extended medley of four seasonal melodies: “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear,” “Angels We Have Heard on High,” and “The First Noel.” SILENT NIGHT is a transcription for harp and strings of my original arrangement for mixed chorus and piano, and COME TO THE CHILD is an adaptation for orchestra of an earlier medley for mixed chorus, piano, and strings that featured “Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella,” “What Child Is This,” and “Wexford Carol.“ The choral originals of these first three orchestral arrangements are included later in this collection. The final orchestral piece is an arrangement of Pietro Yon’s charming GESÙ BAMBINO.
CHORAL CHRISTMAS ORIGINALS
WHO ARE YOU, MY LITTLE ONE? is a first-place prize-winning composition in which I strive to capture the thoughts and feelings of a very young mother holding her new-born son in her arms as she ponders the wondrous events surrounding the birth of her child: an angel announcing the birth, shepherds coming to see the newly born infant, and astrologers from the East arriving to worship the baby. MY SOUL MAGNIFIES THE LORD is an a cappella mixed chorus work written in an arch form. Halfway through the middle section there is a transition from Mary talking about God to Mary talking to God, reflecting her development of a one-on-one personal relationship with the Almighty.
CHORAL CHRISTMAS ARRANGEMENTS
These are all familiar carols and songs of the season. COME TO THE CHILD is the original version for mixed chorus, piano, and strings of the medley of the same name appearing in the orchestral section of this collection.
SOLO PIANO CHRISTMAS ARRANGEMENTS
These are little bon bons that I have used for years at little gatherings and in Holiday concerts.
