Roland Kernen schuf eine ausgezeichnete Bearbeitung für Blasorchester des Chorals Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König der Ehren. Das beliebte Lied hat seinen Ursprung in Deutschland im 17. Jahrhundert. Johann Sebastian Bach nahm es in seine Kantate BWV 137 auf und in der englischen Übersetzung wurde es schließlich international bekannt. Mit dieser oft und gerne gesungenen Melodie gewinnen Sie nicht nur zu kirchlichen Anlässen die Herzen Ihres Publikums.

Le choral Lobe den Herren succède au choeur d’ouverture de la Cantate BWV 137 de Jean Sébastien Bach. La mélodie du choral trouve ses origines dans l’Allemagne du XVIIe siècle. Elle a été intégrée l’un des premiers et des plus importants recueils de chorals luthériens publié l’époque de Bach, le recueil de cantiques du théologien Johann Freylinghausen. Avec Song of Adoration, Roland Kernen signe une superbe fantaisie pour Orchestre d’Harmonie sur cette célèbre mélodie chorale.

O Salutaris Hostia is one of Eriks Ešenvalds' most popular pieces. Originally written for female voices, the composer later created a version for full choir on which this arrangement is based. It has a gentle meditation with the two soloists drifting across the soft band accompaniment, alternately echoing and imitating each other or joining together in thirds. The effect is quietly ecstatic, a brief moment of adoration and wonderment. This arrangement can be played with either two cornets or two euphoniums as soloists as the accompaniment works just as effectively with either.
