This
is an essential collection of twenty-two favorite Easter hymns arranged brass
quartet, brass quintet or small brass ensemble. The publication consists of
full scores for each hymn plus parts for 1st trumpet in B flat, 2nd
trumpet in B flat, horn in F (or E flat), trombone and tuba. The tuba part is
optional because it either doubles the trombone part or plays an octave below.
Both parts appear on a single staff in the bass clef. Theres a piano part too,
so you can also use the arrangements as solos, duets or trios. All the parts
are contained in a single 91-page PDF file. They are intended either as stand-alone
pieces that could be used as interludes in an Easter service, or they could be
used to accompany solo, choral or congregational singing. The music has been
set in brass-friendly keys so they are not compatible with the string
collection of the same name. Parts are provided for both E flat and F horns The
piano part has been written for with the early intermediate pianist in mind,
though some hymns are actually quite easy.
The
tempo markings are suggestions only, because the tempo will be influenced by
the size of the audience or congregation, the acoustics of the venue and the
playing skills of the instrumentalists. The audio samples include Amazing
Grace, Were you There? and O Sacred Head Now Wounded.
