Flexible Wind Quartet (Brass, Woodwinds, Mixed Ensemble).
These two festive pieces (Gloria and Finale) from the "Oratorio de Noël / Christmas Oratorio", op. 12 (1858) by the important French romantic composer Camille Saint-Saëns represent a supplement and enrichment of Christmas music for winds in several aspects: They are almost unknown in Germany, the melodies catch the ear, they are short and technically easy to play. The adapted 4-part-setting can be performed by flexible wind ensembles such as brass, woodwind or mixed choirs (e.g. small youth bands).
