Product Description
This powerful arrangement of this majestic and well known hymn will
be a welcome addition to your orchestral library. Jeff arranged this
with a more modern cinematic approach to orchestra. This means that
although the arrangement may sound big and bombastic, it is not
extremely difficult to play and does not require a huge group for a
successful performance. A lot of the brass are in unison or octaves so
you dont have to have four french horns to play this piece. Though four
horns would be NICE.
The flexibility in this arrangement is that this modern film score
approach means you can play this arrangement when you only have a couple
trumpets and a horn BUT you can absolutely play this piece with four
horns, tons of trumpets and a huge low brass section and it will be
gigantic! Most of the giant action films you hear today record with 6-8
(French) horns and they are often playing in unison or octaves. That is
part of the massive sound. So, this arrangement can absolutely grow with
your group. And if youve got extra folks that want to play, this is
the PERFECT opportunity to feature a large group.
