This is the German Christmas Classic “Sußer die Glocken nie klingen”, arranged by the Hamburg trumpeter and arranger Heiko Quistorf as a modern jazz waltz.
The piece begins elegantly and develops more and more jazzy changes towards the end of the piece, when all jazz harmonies are in play. A few instruments could therefore encounter unconventional and unexpected notes. The entire piece seems that much more formidable due to this. The arrangement is tecnically not difficult as it played slowly and with few quick notes (tp1 to b2). On the other hand, good intontation is very important.
