Arrangements for Brasses

Christ Is Risen! Alleluia
Tune: Morgenlied
Arranged by Thomas Pavlechko

This versatile arrangement from the Arrangements for Brasses series is written for seven Brasses, Organ, and optional Handbells and Percussion. It can be played as an instrumental piece, a congregational accompaniment, or a concertato with the addition of the reproducible SATB Choir and congregational parts which are included. This is a big, festive piece with brasses in typical fanfare mode, and very active handbells and chimes.

The arrangement is scored for I, II, and III Trumpets; I F Horn; optional II F Horn; I & II Trombones; Tuba; Handbells in 3 or 5 octaves; Timpani; Cymbals; Chimes; and Glockenspiel. A part is included for Alternate Trombone as a I F Horn substitute. The difficulty level is 4.

Full set includes a Conductor/Keyboard Score, transposed parts for individual instruments, background notes, and suggestions for performance with or without the congregation and choir.
