The First Noel for String Orchestra 弦樂團

斯圖爾特-卡爾森（Stuart Carlson）的絃樂四重奏專輯《聖誕頌歌》（Carols of Christmas）收錄了七首富有創意的中高級編曲，在節日氣氛中熠熠生輝。這一新系列的弦樂管弦樂曲也能捕捉到同樣的聖誕魔力，其編排適合初中和高中樂團的能力。大部分樂段均可在第一位置演奏，弓法運用得當，注重樂句和合奏音效。本系列的亮點之一是卡爾森的原創作品 "聖誕小交響曲"，其靈感來自耶誕節本身的節日氣氛"

原文簡介:
Stuart Carlson's Carols of Christmas album for string quartet features seven creative intermediate to advanced arrangements that sparkle with the holiday season. This new series for string orchestra captures the same Yuletide magic with settings geared toward the abilities of middle and high school ensembles. Most passages throughout are playable in first position and bowings are generously placed with an emphasis on musical phrasing and ensemble sound. Among the highlights in this series is Carlson's original composition, “Christmas Sinfonietta,” inspired by the festive spirit of Christmas Day itself.
