Hymns for Brass Ensembles

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Tune: Picardy
Arranged by Dale Elmshaeuser

From the Hymns for Brass Ensembles series, here is a very sonorous arrangement in legato style that contains the hymnal version from Lutheran Worship and three congregational accompaniments, including one with a layered entry to each phrase, and one with the tenor melody enhanced by a soprano descant.

This arrangement can be played by as few as four instruments (typically I & II Trumpets, and I & II Trombones). Parts are included for I & II F Horns, Baritone T.C., and Tuba, so that quartets can 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.
