Carol from Boda
Good, different tunes are always welcomed by brass bands around Christmas time, so we asked our colleague Maurice Forslund if there were any Carols in Sweden that he would like to arrange for us. He has come back with “Carol from Boda” which we have also titled in Swedish and Norwegian to reflect brass band interest in those countries.
The tune is traditional and known as 'Chorale from Boda’. It is one of the settings for the Advent Carol “Prepare the Way, O Zion”, (Bereden väg för Herran – Swedish, or Rydd vei for Herrens komme – Norwegian). These words are typical of the period when they were written and could be updated to suit modern ears, so starting with this excellent melody, some new words would be good from the lyricists amongst you.....
This piece is graded in the range ‘easy’ to ‘intermediate’ and is well within the capabilities of most bands looking for something different.
