This
is an essential collection of twenty-two favourite Easter hymns arranged for
clarinet choir or for virtually any combination or number of clarinets. The publication
consists of full scores for each hymn plus parts for 1st clarinet in
B flat, 2nd clarinet in B flat, 3rd clarinet in B flat
and bass clarinet in B flat. The 1st clarinet and 3rd
clarinets have duplicate parts for E flat clarinet and E flat alto clarinet
respectively. You could of course include alto and tenor saxophones if necessary. 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 100-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 clarinet-friendly
keys and they are compatible with the brass collection of the same name. 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.
