Product Description
Heres
a new collection of thirty-two of Americas best-loved hymn tunes, at a bargain
price too! The arrangements are intended either as stand-alone pieces that
could be used as interludes in a service, or they could be used to accompany
solo, choral or congregational singing.
The
publication consists of a four-staff score in concert pitch together with
fifteen separate parts in various transpositions including a simplified
optional keyboard part. These four-part
arrangements use flexible instrumentation so that you can exercise considerable
control over the instrumental voicing or use them for non-standard ensembles. You can also create interesting instrumental
tone color by omitting groups of instruments. If the ensemble is large enough
you could omit brass instruments in the quieter sections, or use a solo trumpet
against a woodwind background. There are endless possibilities.
The
complete set includes Part 1 in B flat, E flat and C (high and low pitch); Part
2 in B flat, E flat and C; Part 3 in B flat, E flat, F and C and Part 4 in B
flat, E flat and C. While Part 1 (high pitch) is suitable for flute and oboe
being an octave above concert, the low pitch version is more suited to
elementary players. Part 2 in C is an octave higher than concert. Parts 3 and 4
in C are in the bass clef. The arrangements could be played by virtually any
combination of conventional wind instruments. Using the optional keyboard part
they could also be used as solos, duets or trios. The scores and all the parts are contained
in a single 244-page PDF file.
