Hymns for Brass Ensembles

Let All Together Praise Our God/O Christ Our Hope
Tune: Lobt Gott, ihr Christen
Arranged by Dale Elmshaeuser

From the Hymns for Brass Ensembles series. After the introductory fanfares based on the hymn tune, four festive settings follow. One is in the style of the Introduction, and one has the melody in the tenor, with a soprano descant. The Hymnal Version is from Lutheran Book of Worship and Lutheran Worship.

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 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.
