This arrangement starts with a slow statement of the melody, then starts swinging at very laid-back tempo, and finally moves to a faster, more lively tempo before ending broadly. It's the old New Orleans funeral routine--slow to the cemetery, and up-beat on the way back. There's plenty of call and response, and I think you'll enjoy the harmonies and the "improvised" lines. The arrangement is suitable for professionals or advanced amateurs. Please give the MP3 a listen. Duration: 2 minutes, 25 seconds.

From the opening notes your students and audience, will know this arrangement of The Hallelujah Chorus from "The Messiah" for Brass Quintet. The melody dances around throughout the group, giving each musician a chance to shine. Perfect for Christmas, Easter or just anytime.

This chorale prelude is in three sections. The first part uses motives from the hymn interspersed with a triplet figure. The second section is more subdued and the harmony more contemporary. Motives from the hymn are present,but secondary. The final section uses the hymn as a cantus firmus while motives and triplets occur above it. It brings the prelude to a rousing conclusion.?

"Faithfulness" is a medley of three beloved hymns on the topics of God's faithfulness to his people and their faithful belief and life in Him. It includes "Great is Thy Faithfulness," "Faith of Our Fathers," and "My Faith Looks Up to Thee," and it incorporates original harmonizations, transitions/modulations, and orchestration for brass quintet.

Ideal as a prelude to worship, as an offertory, or at communion, this advanced-intermediate arrangement is suitable for proficient high school musicians and church/community ensembles.
