Description
Christmas album. Seven new chorale arrangements (Ped.)
In this volume, Andreas Willscher has given some time-honoured Christmas carols a makeover (especially rhythmically). Playing the tongue-in-cheek arrangements yourself is always a joy – for example, you can reveal them to the audience at unusual Christmas concerts or organ tours at this time of year.
Contents: Es ist ein Ros entsprungen (Quasi Huapango) – Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her (Quasi Tango Germanico) – In dulci jubilo (Quasi Valse-Musette) – Silent Night (JazzWaltz) – Silent Night (Toccatina) – Ich steh an dein Krippen hier (Quasi Bossa Nova) Tochter Zion (Quasi Boogie). “Willscher adds interesting, sometimes exotic rhythmic models to well-known Christmas carols. He has the ability to translate his ideas into sounds that are convincing and harmoniously colorful. The pieces are technically easy and certainly popular.” [Church music in the diocese of Limburg 1/2011]
