Arrangements for Orchestral Ensembles

I Love Your Kingdom, Lord/The Advent of Our God/Oh, Bless the Lord, My Soul
Tune: St. Thomas
Arranged by John Jay Hilfiger

This first-in-the-series arrangement from the Arrangements for Orchestral Ensembles series is a continuous work, consisting of an introduction and four settings of the hymn - three of which can be separated out to accompany congregational singing, two of those in F Major, and the other in G Major. The arrangement is easy enough for high school and some middle school ensembles, yet interesting enough for adults and advanced players.

The arrangement can be played by as few as four instruments (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), and by as many as a full wind ensemble (concert band), string orchestra, or full orchestra. The difficulty level is 3-.

Full set includes a Conductor/Keyboard Score; transposed parts for individual woodwind, brass, and string instruments; background notes; and suggestions for performance with or without the congregation.
