The First Nowell: (Arr. Lorenzo Bocci): Blasorchester

The First Nowell is a traditional Christmas song that can be traced back to the 18th century. The word “nowell” is in fact derived the French word for Christmas, “noel”. The First Nowell is sung in Englishspeaking countries around the world, although the actual text may vary by region and local customs. The simple and beautiful melody has made this carol a Christmas favourite. Lorenzo Bocci turns the melody into an elegant flexible four-part arrangement.
