A Christmas Overture 序曲
奈杰尔-赫斯（Nigel Hess）的《圣诞序曲》活泼多彩，最初是约翰-鲁特（John Rutter）为其 2007 年圣诞音乐节委约创作的管弦乐作品。传统颂歌巧妙地并置和交织在一起，成为主题素材。这些曲目包括《叮当》、《快乐在高空》、《Il Esto》、《茉莉花》、《茉莉花》、《茉莉花》、《茉莉花》和《茉莉花》！Merrily On High》、《Il Est Né Le Divin Enfant》、《Infant Holy, Infant Lowly》、《Personent Hodie》、《We Wish You A Merry Christmas》和《Angels From The Realms Of Glory》，为序曲画上了圆满的句号。其他颂歌的片段也随之出现，丰富了这首为节日创作的最有吸引力的作品的质感"

原文简介:
Nigel Hess’ vivacious and colourful A Christmas Overture, originally commissioned as an orchestral work by John Rutter for his 2007 Christmas Festival, proved an instant success with audience and orchestra alike. Traditional carols, skillfully juxtaposed and interwoven, provide the thematic material. These include Ding Dong! Merrily On High; Il Est Né Le Divin Enfant; Infant Holy, Infant Lowly; Personent Hodie; We Wish You A Merry Christmas and Angels From The Realms Of Glory, which brings the overture to a majestic close. Fragments of other carols appear along the way to enrich the texture of what is surely one of the most attractive pieces written for the festive season.
Brass Band Grade 4/5.
Duration: 7 minutes, 30 seconds
