Hymns for Brass Ensembles

When Morning Gilds the Skies
Tune: Laudes Domini
Arranged by Dale Elmshaeuser

This arrangement for brass quartet from the Hymns for Brass Ensembles series includes a setting in chorale prelude style, the Hymnal Version from Lutheran Book of Worship and Lutheran Worship with an optional descant in the I Trumpet, and three new Congregational Versions.

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.
