Choral Music with Instruments

For All the Saints
Concertato on "Sine Nomine" arranged by Dale Elmshaeuser
for Congregation, SATB Choir, Handbells, Woodwind Quartet, Chimes, optional Orchestra Bells and Timpani, and Organ

Focusing on the "rest" theme of the hymn text, the concertato begins with a single G in the chimes, followed by a haunting melody on the oboe, later joined by the other woodwinds to accompany Stanza 1, sung in unison by the choir. Organ, handbells and timpani accompany the congregation on Stanza 2. Stanza 3 is for unaccompanied SATB choir, with the hymn tune sung by the altos. In Stanza 4, "The saints triumphant rise in bright array" is illustrated by having the flute(s) play "Behold a Host Arrayed in White" while the other woodwinds add their own accompaniment for the men of the choir singing "Sine Nomine." A short interlude leads to Stanza 5, sung by the congregation, along with all instruments and organ. The difficulty is 3.
