After the success of his very popular Baritone Solo "Appassionata", Richard Rock has done it again, but this time, for the Euphonium. This melodic solo give the soloist a chance to shine whilst keeping the rest of the band entertained throughout. The piece ranges from a lovely atmospheric opening, to a toe tapping journey with hints of a South American/Latin feel. Playable by most levels of bands and soloists.

This fantastic arrangement of the well-known Advent hymn 0 Come, 0 Come, lmmanuel aims to expand on the power and mystery of the original tune and will be most effective if, at the start and end of the piece, the solo cornet can stand away from the band, maybe at the back of the auditorium.
The Advent hymn we all know today as 0 Come, 0 Come, Immanuel was arranged in its modern form by Thomas Helmore and published in Hymnal Noted in 1856. Both the words and melody, however, predate this version by centuries. The words are based on a 9th century antiphon, one of the seven so-called ‘0’ antiphons (they all begin with ‘0’, as in ‘0 Emmanuel...’, ‘0 RadixJesse... etc.), which were sung, one daily, during the last seven days before Christmas both before and after the Magnificat at Vespers. ‘0 Emmanuel...’ was the last of the seven, sung on December 23rd.
The tune, Veni Immanuel, is taken from a 15th century processional of French Franciscan nuns, part of the setting for the funeral hymn Libera Me.
