Christmas Oratorio, Part I–III
Arrangement for soli, choir and organ
The Christmas Oratorio with just organ instead of orchestral accompaniment? Can this work with such a festive and colorfully orchestrated piece? This arrangements show that it can, and surprisingly well!
Carsten Klomp has carefully transcribed the orchestral writing for organ. Staying close to the original score goes hand-in-hand with a transcription brilliantly suited to the organ, with full use of the tonal and performing possibilities of the instrument.
The first three parts of the Christmas Oratorio are now available from Carus in this form. So for the first time, a complete performance of Parts I to III of the work can now be given in an arrangement for soloists, choir and organ.
- Each of the organ parts is available to match the scores. These allow for optimal page-turns, as the choral parts are not printed, but the da capo sections are always written out in full.
- The editions are available individually or as a set (including the three scores with the individual organ parts).
- The vocal parts (for soloists and choir) are identical to the original version, so that the vocal score and choral score of that version can be used.
- This work (original version) is also available in carus music, the choir app!
