Hymns for Brass Ensembles

Faith of Our Fathers
Tune: St. Catherine
Arranged by Brandon Moore

This arrangement for brass quartet from the Hymns for Brass Ensembles series includes a short Introduction, the Hymnal Version from The Baptist Hymnal (1991) and The United Methodist Hymnal (1989), and three new Congregational Versions. There are optional bridges connecting rhe latter three harmonizations. This arrangement contains contemporary harmonies and a rhythmic energy suitable for less formal situations, while maintaining the dignity appropriate for traditional 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 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.
