Home for Christmas Maria Mena & Martin Sjølie / Arr. John Philip Hannevik

Serie / Series: Concert Band Christmas

The song Home for Christmas is written and performed by the popular norwegian singer / songwriter Maria Mena. The song featured as the soundtrack for director Bent Hamers movie Hjem til jul from 2010.

This arrangement is written for an instrumental soloist, but if one prefers a vocal soloist, one will also find a solo part with lyrics included in the full set.
It will be helpful to hear the recorded version of this song performed by Maria Mena. This will help adapting to the free timing required to make the performance interesting and musical.

[NO]Maria Menas sang Home for Christmas er tittelsporet fra Bent Hamers film Hjem til jul fra 2010. Filmen bygger på Levi Henriksens novellesamling Bare mjuke pakker under treet.

Arrangementet er laget for instrumentalsolo, men det er også vedlagt en vokalstemme dersom man vil bruke sangsolist. Det er uansett viktig at solisten prøver å tilnærme seg en ganske fri stil i forhold til det rytmiske i sangen. Maria Menas versjon er i så fall en utmerket modell å prøve å forme soloen etter.
