Product Description

    British composer Alexander Robert Reinagle wrote this melody about 1836 and named it after the church where he was organist, Oxford's St. Peter-in-the-East. First published as a musical setting for Psalm 118, it was adapted to John Newtons "How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds" in 1861 and then to the hymn by John Oxenham (William A. Dunkerley), "In Christ There Is No East or West," in the early 20th Century.
    While some sources specify that the "St. Peter" melody should be played "without any festive fanfares," this brass quintet version does contain a few ceremonial flourishes.
    Most players will have little or no difficulty with this piece. The andante moderato tempo should be interpreted as somewhere in the vicinity of quarter note = 92. Most of the rhythm patterns involve quarter and eighth notes, with a few 16th-note passages scattered throughout. Trumpet 1s highest note is its high A; tubas lowest is G below the staff. Otherwise, the music remains well within the normal playing range of all instruments.
    This arrangement was completed in 2019, and performance time runs about 4 minutes, 13 seconds. The arranger, Les Smith, will be happy to provide substitute parts (for example, treble clef baritone for trombone) at no charge; contact him directly at lessmith61@bellsouth.net. For more arrangements by Les, enter "Sweetwater Brass Press" (without the quotation marks) in the SheetMusicPlus search box.
