Choral Music with Instruments

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Concertato on "Ein Feste Burg" arranged by Dale Elmshaeuser
for Congregation, SATB Choir, Handbells, Brass Quintet, optional Timpani, Chimes, optional Triangle, and Organ

This concertato begins with a timpani roll and an intonation of the first four notes of the chorale, followed by full brass fanfares. Stanza 1 (isometric version) features the brasses, and Stanza 2 the percussion. A vigorous interlude leads to unaccompanied choir (rhythmic version) for Stanza 3, and the opening themes and fanfares frame the congregational Stanza 4 (isometric, again), with a descant for choir sopranos. The difficulty is 3/4.

Full set includes one each of the following: Full Score, Choral Score, Organ Score, parts for all the instruments listed above, and performance notes. Purchasers have the right to make photocopies to meet (only) their own needs.
