Praise to Thee Jesus Christ- Gelobet seist du Jesu Christ (We Praise You Jesus Christ) is an old Christmas hymn dating from the 16th century which can still be found in many hymnbooks today. John Blanken has created a varied and imaginative arrangement on four verses of the hymn. After the introduction derived from the opening notes the hymn is first accompanied by an agile harmonisation. Next we hear the chorale in a four-part setting with a percussion accompaniment. Then follows a short prologue to the third verse and finally its time for fireworks as the arrangement takes a stylistic leap in time with the festive prelude to the fourth and last verse.

Enjoying his travels in Scotland Marco Pütz decided to compose a piece for wind band based on Scottish folk songs. While in the airport at Glasgow shortly before boarding his plane Pütz bought a collection of folk melodies from all over Scotland that had been arranged for flute. At first he harmonized several melodies in his own style then he began to alter the resulting pieces (especially rhythmically). Eventually Pütz added passages here and there and orchestrated the piece for wind band. Pütz’s resulting composition is an educational work that is both enjoyable and appealing to players of all ages although it was written with young bands in mind. From theHighlands is part of a project to increase the repertoire available to youth and school bands both in quantity and quality; an important personal and musical goal for the composer. This is Pütz’s third contribution of this sort to be added to the De Haske catalogue following his successful Arrows of Lightning and Four Sketches for Band .
