About this arrangement

Fanfare Band - Grade 3 SKU: BT.GOB-000847-120 Arranged by Peter Martin. Score Only. 24 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000847-120. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000847-120). Noel" is based on the famous English Carol "The First Noel". The age of this song is not clear.Some scientists argue that this song is from early thirteenth century, others say that it's from the sixteenth century.The first publication was in 'Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern', compiled by William B. Sandys. (London, 1833).The exact origin is unknown. By Norman influences on the text, with the result that the spelling of the song is not certified (Noel, Nowell), an individual will claim that France is the home of this song, but in general is assumed that "the First Noel 'has been sung somewhere in England for the first time.'Noel' is gebaseerd op de zeer bekende Engelse Carol 'the First Noel'. Over de 'leeftijd' van dit lied is men het niet eens. Zo zijn er geleerden die beweren dat het al vanaf begin dertiende eeuw gezongen werd, anderen zeggendat het lied vanaf de zestiende eeuw bestaat. De eerste publicatie plaats was in een verzamelbundel: 'Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern', bijeengebracht door William B. Sandys. (Londen, 1833). Over de exacte herkomstis men het wel eens, deze is onbekend. Door Normandische invloeden op de tekst, wat tot gevolg had dat de spelling van het lied niet eensluidend is (Noel, Nowell), wil een enkeling nog wel eens beweren dat Frankrijk de bakermatvan dit lied is, maar over het algemeen wordt aangenomen dat 'the First Noel' voor het eerst ergens in Engeland gezongen is.
