Arrangements for Woodwinds

Two Advent Chorales for Woodwinds and Organ
Tunes: Veni, Emmanuel; Freu Dich Sehr
Arranged by Evan Becker

In this arrangement from the Arrangements for Woodwinds series, there is a beautiful setting of "O Come, Emmanuel" for Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, and Organ, in which the melody is instantly recognizable, and the style is appropriately meditative. For the same instrumentation, "Comfort, Comfort Now My People" follows in a transcription of an organ piece by Sigfrid Karg-Elert. The latter uses a highly ornamented form of the melody.

This arrangement is scored for a quartet of Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon, with an independent Organ part. Alternate parts are included for another Clarinet in place of Oboe, Bass Clarinet in place of Bassoon, and Alto Sax in place of (regular) Clarinet. The difficulty level is 3.

Full set includes a Full/Organ Score, transposed parts for individual instruments, background notes, and suggestions for rehearsal and performance.
