Ran Whitley has compiled and beautifully arranged Twelve Hymn Preludes and Offertories for 4-part Brass Ensemble. They are playable by most performers of intermediate level and higher. Each piece is a complete arrangement on its own. The entire collection of twelve hymns contains almost 30 minutes of music of glorious Christian music appropriate for many different occasions.

The twelve hymns are amongst the most famous of the Christian liturgy:

All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

Be Still My Soul

Brethren, We Have Met to Worship

God of our Fathers

Holy, Holy, Holy

I Love to Tell the Story

If You Will Only Let God Guide You

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

Nearer, My God to Thee

O Worship the King

Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us

Instrumentation for the quartet is for 2 Trumpets in B-flat and two Trombones. There are 4 substitute parts for parts 2 and 3 in B-flat treble and for F Horn, plus a Tuba part 8ba on the 4th part. You can perform these works with a mass brass ensemble very successfully.

Bizet's Habanera from the opera Carmen is one of the most recognized arias of the repertoire. The Spanish dance and its hypnotic rhythms are heard in Act I scene 5 when Carmen makes her entrance for the first time.

Ray Kirkham's wonderful arrangement of about 3 minutes in length for Brass Quartet featuring the Trombonist is playable by intermediate or higher-level performers and may be programmed for almost any occasion.

Instrumentation is for Trumpet in B-flat, Horn in F (substitute 2nd Trumpet provided), Trombone (substitute Horn provided), Bass Trombone (or Euphonium or Tuba).
