Hymns for Woodwind Ensembles

Let Us Break Bread Together
Tune: Break Bread Together
Arranged by Mark Albrecht

From the Hymns for Woodwind Ensembles series. Written with Flute, oboe, clarinet, and Bassoon in mind, but in classical woodwind quintet style. As with all arrangements in this series, other instrumentations are provided for. After an Introduction that includes the entire hymn tune, the arrangement continues with the Hymnal Version from Lutheran Book of Worship, a Congregational Version for one of the first two stanzas, and another Congregational Version for the final stanza.

This arrangement can be played by as few as four instruments. Parts are included for Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, I-III Clarinets, Bass Clarinet, I & I Alto Saxes, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, and F Horn, so that quartets can be formed in different ways, or various doublings may be made for larger ensembles. The arrangement can accompany a congregation, or can be played as an instrumental suite of variations on the hymn. The difficulty level is 3.

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.
