Hymns for Brass Ensembles

All Glory, Laud, and Honor
Tune: Valet Will Ich Der Geben/St. Theodulph
Arranged by Mark Albrecht

In this arrangement from the Hymns for Brass Ensembles series, there are five contrasting settings with refrains, including the Hymnal Version from Lutheran Worship. The first setting is in three-part harmony, and the others are in four parts. One features a repeated, two-measure, Arban exercise type of figure along with the hymn tune, above a tenor and bass of drones in fifths.

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.
