Note: I have added a 4th clarinet part in the pdf for quartets who do not have a bass clarinet I know that there are some fairly ornate instrumental quartet versions of George Bennard's hymn The Old Rugged Cross. However, I thought it would be useful, for some groups, also to have simpler instrumental quartet versions available, which follow the original. So here they are: They are available on this site for flute, woodwind, clarinet, saxophone, string and recorder quartets
