This essential collection may be all you ever need for
your wind instruments at Easter. It's a bargain price too! The arrangements in the publication are totally compatible with Your Favorite Hymns for Brass. These four-part arrangements use flexible
instrumentation so that you can exercise some control over the instrumental
voicing. The arrangements could therefore be played by brass quartet, woodwind
quartet, saxophone quartet or virtually any combination of conventional wind
instruments. Using the piano part the arrangements could also be used as solos
or duets, depending of what instruments are available. Parts 1 and 2 in C have
been printed an octave higher than the pitch shown in the score because the
parts invariably are too low for flute or oboe.
The publication consists of four-stave scores for each
hymn plus:
Part 1 in B flat (clarinet, trumpet, cornet, soprano sax);
Part 1 in C (8ve higher for piccolo, flute, oboe);
Part 1 in E flat (alto saxophone, E flat clarinet);
Part 2 in B flat (clarinet, trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn);
Part 2 in C (8ve higher for flute, oboe); Part 2 in E flat
(alto saxophone);
Part 3 in B flat (tenor saxophone, B flat baritone);
Part 3 in C (bass clef for trombone, bassoon);
Part 3 in E flat (E flat tenor horn, alto saxophone, alto
clarinet);
Part 3 in F (French horn in F);
Part 3a in B flat (8ve below score pitch for 3rd
clarinet);
Part 4 in B flat (B flat bass clarinet, B flat bass);
Part 4 in C (bass clef for trombone, bass trombone,
bassoon, tuba);
Part 4 in E flat (E flat baritone saxophone, E flat bass).
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
182-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 and
woodwind-friendly keys so they are not compatible with the string 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.
