Description
This version of At the Feast of Stephen by Scott Watson is part of our Alfred FLEX offerings and is designed with maximum flexibility for use by any mix of instruments---wind, strings, and percussion, including like- or mixed-ensembles with as few as 4 players. The suggested instrumentation and a customizable Teacher Map will help you plan out how to best assign parts to suit your ensemble's needs. The 4-part instrumentation will support balanced instrumentation of the lower voices. It also comes with supplemental parts for maximum flexibility. With the purchase of this piece, permission is granted to photocopy the parts as needed for your ensemble. A percussion accompaniment track is also available as a free download. String parts have been carefully edited with extra fingerings and appropriate bowings to support students in mixed ensembles playing in less familiar keys.
This novel setting of the traditional carol Good King Wenceslas will musically transport you and your students to the royal Christmas banquet hall of a medieval king! The old carol tells the story of a legendary 10th-century monarch, Duke Wenceslas of Bohemia, who went out in the severe cold to give charity to the poor on December 26, also known as St. Stephen's Day. The well-known 13th-century tune, as well as additional original material in period style, vividly conjures a lively celebration of Christmas in the high Middle Ages.
Come now ye lords and ladies to the Feast of Stephen and upon your instruments faire make most merry this Yuletide!

I'm playing this song in my high school Christmas band concert this year. We just started practicing it today and our Christmas concert is on December 11th. So we only have a little over a month to get ready for the concert because marching season gets in the way.

So I'm a little late on this video but I'm playing this for our band and normally our director gives it to the grade above since it's a little harder but he says our grade is really good so we get to do this earlier!! And I am a flute so I get main melody too!!! And I'm soooooooooooo excited like I hate band but like this makes me so excited

I play tuba and I play with the song, it is kinda difficult to get enough air to play that last bunch of whole notes. I'm playing this for my winter concert as well. 7th grade
