Variations on the 1591 Version of Coventry Carol - Thomas Brown

This was somthing I composed/ arranged (whatever you want to call it) for the 2010 christmas carol concert at school for the brass quartet (which consisted of myself on cornet, Mark Bentham on tenor horn, Oliver Booth on baritone and William Chandler on bass trombone). At the end of this performance, we decided not to follow the score but one by one leave the stage until one player is left on his own - Mr Bentham (awww), but in the score, only the cornet drops out and the refrain is repeated, only the horn plays the cornet part and it has a quieter dynamic.

The score of coventry carol I used to help me with this is of the origional version from 1591, which is modal and has more recently been adapted to fit the well known tonal system, which is the version which most people are familiar with.

I removed the images that were in the video before because I wasn't sure on copyright laws, so sorry it's abit boring!!

ENJOY!! (and let me know what you think)

@Mags496 Thank's Tom! Did this in my final year at Holmfirth, which was over a year ago so have left now. May bump into him this week though as on half term at the moment and there's a concert next week so will probably go in for that, so If I see him I'll say hi for you!

Tom :)

Hi there Thomas ... this is a great arrangement and well played also.

Please say hello to Mr. Bentham from me, (we played in the same band a long time ago :D)

Best wishes ... Tom
