Handel's Messiah is one of the most popular musical works of all time, and choirs around the world perform Part 1 of Messiah every Christmas season.

His Yoke is Easy would be a great closer for your Christmas concert. It is the last movement in the Christmas section of Messiah. The Hallelujah Chorus is usually what is sung after this.

This arrangement is for the more advanced choir, however, parts 5 & 6 could be used for those who aren't as advanced.

Scored for 6 C flutes, alto, bass, and optional contrabass. There is also a cello part, which can also be played by any C instrument in a similar range, such as a bassoon.

Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672) wrote the Musikalische Exequien, opus 7 (SWV 279-281) for the funeral of Prince Heinrich Posthumus von Reuss (1572-1635). Prince Heinrich?s widow and sons commissioned the work upon his death and provided Schütz with Bible verses as the text, which were also inscribed on the prince?s coffin.

Two of the three parts of the Musikalische Exequien have been arranged for 8-part Trombone Ensemble in two different choirs. The first piece, Motet is reminiscent of Gabrieli's Sonatas. The second piece, Canticum Sineonis is dense, rich, and evokes deep spiritual suffering and loss.

Two Sacred Pieces have been exquisitely edited and arranged by Kenneth Biggs for moderately advanced performers and work very well with 2 Alto Trombones, 4 Tenor Trombones, and 2 Bass Trombones.

Flute choir meets heavy metal!

Avenged Sevenfold is one of my absolute favorite heavy metal bands. I don't usually hear a flute choir when I listen to their songs, or mostly any heavy metal songs for that matter, but A Little Piece of Heaven is so creative, so musical, and so funny, that I couldn't help it. Also, Oingo Boingo headed up the instrumental parts of the original song, which is evident.

If you are unfamiliar with heavy metal, you don't need to know anything about this song, other than it's incredibly unique and has to be played with an attitude. Accentuate the down beats, lay off the full vibratos, keep pushing the tempo - it never should slow down, and channel your inner rocker.

This song was the brainchild of the late James "The Rev" Sullivan. With the help of Oingo Boingo musicians, the song was scored to include an orchestra, full wind section, and choir. This arrangement is less than half the length of the original song, but it still clocks in at around 3 1/2 minutes.

This arrangement is scored for 4 flutes, alto, bass, contrabass, and upright string bass or keyboard. It is essential that there is a strong bass line. The upright bass part could also be played by any bass clef C instrument, like a euphonium, trombone, or tuba. If you are lucky enough to know a drummer, that would help a great deal too. I did not include a drum part, only because I am not knowledgeable enough at writing for drums and would rather leave it out than mess it up!

I hope you and your group will enjoy playing this song as much as I enjoyed arranging it. And I hope your audience will like it too!

The movie "Psycho" has one of the most well-known murder scenes in movie history, along with one of the creepiest music themes. So, why make a flute choir version of it? Why not?

This flute choir arrangement is written for Piccolo, 4 C flutes, alto, bass, and contrabass. If your flute choir doesn't have a contrabass flute, you can substitute it with another bass flute.

I hope you will enjoy playing this creepy music and that your audience will love listening to it!

This beautiful song comes from the musical Yentl, starring Barbra Streisand.

As an instrumental piece, dynamics, tempo changes - of which there are many - and the attention to the overall emotion of the song will make this piece soar as it should.

This arrangement is for flute choir: 4 C flutes, alto, bass, contrabass, and optional cello to help give the bass line a stronger presence.

I hope you and your audience will enjoy this piece.

Duration: 3.5 minutes

This spritely and delightful tune from Rodger's and Hammerstein's beloved THE SOUND OF MUSIC is masterfully and lovingly adapted for flute choir by an arranger who once portrayed Friedrich von Trapp in a theatrical production.

This is a song that no one will expect a flute choir to play. That said, why not have a flute choir play it? This arrangement will require 1 or 2 people stamping their feet and clapping their hands throughout the whole piece. Or, you could have a drummer do his or her thing.

Play this in the right style - that is, leave your sweet vibrato behind and play this percussively and with an attitude that will make Freddie Mercury proud - and this will be a winner with your audience.

Ecce Sacerdos Magnus (?Behold the Great Priest?) comes from the early European tradition of plainchant. Bruckner?s setting of the responsory, originally scored for eight-part mixed choir, organ and three trombones, brings certain medieval qualities to an otherwise Romantic-era composition.



This transcription for 10-part brass choir is appropriate for intermediate level and above and attempts to retain the majesty, power, and beauty of the original piece. It should be approached as a choral piece: connected and fluid. The harmonic language is essentially triadic; great care should be taken in the tuning of each chord throughout the piece.



Instrumentation is for: 3 Trumpets in B-flat, 2 Horns, 3 Trombones, Euphonium and Tuba.



Listen to the live performance by a young group of musicians conducted by Dr. Paul Stevens, Professor of Horn at KU.

This arrangement is a beautiful rendition of the Zimmer/Rubin/Gibson original. Material is treated true to the original, emulating the lyrical nature and forward thrust of the piece. perfectly suited to a Clarinet Choir. The main melodic and harmonic themes are seamlessly shared by each of the instruments, melodic runs interweave and dovetail amongst the main theme. The arrangement and voicing captures the variety of tones that a Clarinet Choir can produce, capturing that fantastic Organ sound from the original movie score. A great arrangement for official Ceremonies, Corporate events, School, College, or Community ensembles. Visit my website and subscribe to stay up to date with the latest arrangements.

For those Bridgerton fans out there, Lady Whistledown's Society Paper is how her dearest readers discovered the juiciest news about everyone who was someone in London. "If there's a scandal, she shall uncover it, and share every last detail." Even the queen read it!

The Netflix series burst onto the screen in December 2020, amid a pandemic, and became one of the most popular shows around the world.

Kris Bowers wrote the soundtrack for Bridgerton. The recording was done remotely by just 8 orchestra musicians. It proves, as many musicians have during the pandemic, that you don't have to be in the same room to make great music with others - the process is just a little weird.

The Latest Whistledown is a lively piece that is quite a delight. This arrangement is a bit beefier than the original recording, as it makes no sense to me to have members of the choir just sitting there with nothing to play while the others may think they have too many notes. This piece also includes a key change that the original does not have, because it helps lengthen the delight a little more.

Scored for piccolo, 3 C flutes, alto, bass, and contrabass flutes. There is an optional upright string bass part that doubles the contrabass part. It can be played by any bass clef C instrument in a similar range.

Duration: 2 minutes

Based on "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga, this arrangement reimagines the pop hit as a Bach fugue. Giovanni Dettori's version went viral in 2013 and is now available for flute choir. This is a great way to round-out your concert program by bringing in something from an older time period in an audience-friendly way. Includes sixteenth notes, accidentals, and requires good musicality. Alto and Flute 1 are the most difficult parts.

Gustav Holst - Folksongs of Hampshire England . In the early 1900's there was great interest in collecting and preserving the folk songs of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Equipped with their newly invented recording devices, people such as Cecil Sharp, Charles Stanford, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Gustav Holst would travel into the country-side to record, or notate songs being sung. They would frequently use these songs in their own compositions. Holst's music in particular is filled with those songs and his two suites for band are especially valued by wind bands around the world. This group of four songs was arranged for voice and piano by Holst and set for flute choir by John Gibson. The songs are 1. Young Edwin in the Lowlands Low 2. Bedlam City 3. The Irish Girl 4. Young Reilly. The instrumentation is: Piccolo, Flute 1-3, Alto Flute, Bass Flute, and Contra Bass Flute.

This is a bright, happy piece from Guaraldi's music for the movie, A Charlie Brown Christmas. The setting for flute choir is by John Gibson (flute 1 - 3, alto, and bass flutes). Your flute group should be able to play syncopated rhythms for the "bright bossa rock style."

The world famous Symphony n°5 by Ludwig van Beethoven (first movement) in a new arrangement for Flute Choir (Piccolo, 4 C Flutes, Alto Flute, Bass Flute and optional Contrabass Flute). Download includes Full Score and Set of Parts.

This absolutely fabulous song comes from the 1965 slapstick comedy film, The Great Race. I first heard it on James Galway's album, In the Pink, which features Galway playing 13 of Henry Mancini's songs.

This piece just screams fun in the middle of a gazillion notes just flying by. Filled with arpeggios, this is a workout for the fingers and requires quite a bit of precision for the song to sound really good. As with most of my arrangements, I have tried to give every part something interesting to play, with the exception of the contrabass flute and optional upright bass, which could also be played by any C instrument in the bass clef range. These lower parts are important in helping maintain good downbeats.

Scored for 5 C flutes, alto, bass, contrabass, and optional upright bass. There are 2-part divisis in flutes 1 - 4. This piece is for the more advanced flute choir and would be a great opener or encore for your recitals.

Duration: 2.75 minutes
