Fantasie über "Fröhliche Weihnacht' überall !"
für Blechbläserquintett
for Brass Quintet

Ensemble Time (Die Musizierstunde) MZ 315
(Brass Quintet)

The piece "Überall ist Weihnacht'" (Everywhere is Christmas) composed by Patrick Egge for brass quintet brings a festive Christmas atmosphere into every room. This composition is based on two themes from the old christmas carol "Fröhliche Weihnacht' überall !" (Merry Christmas Everywhere). The well-known and joyful main theme (see e.g. bar 85 in trumpet 1) is developed several times in harmony, motifs and timbre. Through imitations and counterpoint-like use of all instruments, this motif characterizes almost the entire piece and thus conveys the festive sound. With the second theme from the above-mentioned carol (see e.g. bar 49 in Horn 1) the composer created a devout and very sonorous middle section. After a few bars, the first motif creeps in again and leads to the recapitulation with a solemn coda.
