Hymns for Brass Ensembles

At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing
Tune: Sonne Der Gerechtigkeit
Arranged by Dale Elmshaeuser

In this arrangement from the Hymns for Brass Ensembles series, royal fanfares usher in five joyful settings, including the Hymnal Version found in Lutheran Book of Worship and Lutheran Worship. The third setting consists of the hymn tune as a canon in the upper three voices above an independent bass line that begins with hints of Dixieland.

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.
