HOLIDAYS

Holiday Greetings!
You may recognize some Christmas music within this arrangement, including "A Spotless Rose" and "Silent Night." While Schoenberg was heading towards 12-tone works, he wrote something a bit different that "quotes" other songs and was more tonal (although bitonal in C major and F major).

Search "Christmas" in the Image Archive to see some Christmas cards sent or received, as well as photos showing how I spent my holidays.

Schoenberg made many other arrangements, and this helped him explore orchestration--how to write for a wide range of (and more) instruments. How does my version and the original version compare?
