Product Description
Revered as one of the greatest German composers of the 17th century, Heinrich Schütz embraced his early studies with Giovanni Gabrieli and developed his own dramatic style of antiphonal music for voices and instruments. Originally written for the centenary of the Reformation in 1617 to honor then Emperor Matthias and his family, this engaging composition translated as Praise the Lord for He is Kind was published in his Psalmen Davids (Op. 2) in 1619 and translates well four centuries later, giving today's brass choirs the opportunity to recreate those glorious antiphonal choir sounds of the early Baroque period. Beyond brass ensemble concerts, consider adding some musical fireworks to your next band or orchestra concerts with this impressive and memorable showcase for your brass section. Trumpet parts in B-flat and alternate C trumpet are provided. A recording of the entire transcription is included.
