6-part Trombone Ensemble - intermediate

SKU: CY.CC2418

Composed by Hans Leo Hassler. Arranged by Bradley Palmer. Renaissance Sacred. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2418).

Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612), son of an organist, was born in Nuremberg and received his initial training in music from his father. As a young man he studied in Venice and became close friends with Giovanni Gabrieli, both eventually studying composition with Giovanni's Uncle Andrea. Hassler gained a reputation as an innovative composer and also traveled throughout Germany as a consultant in the construction of pipe organs.

Dr. Palmer has transcribed this exciting 3 minute work for 6 part Trombone ensemble. It will work well for intermediate performers.

Verbum caro factum est is a beautiful choral work written in antiphonal style. The text has been taken by Hassler from the first chapter of the St. John Gospel and is considered an ancient carol of Christmas based on the text.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. (John 1:14)

And we have beheld His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)

And we have beheld His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

And we have beheld His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)

SATB choir, organ or piano, percussion, and string quartet - Intermediate

SKU: MN.56-0101

Composed by Howard Goodall. Annunciation, Advent, Lessons and Carols, 21st Century. Choral score. Duration 4 minutes, 31 seconds. MorningStar Music Publishers #56-0101. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.56-0101).

UPC: 688670221163. Latin. John 1:14.

Originally conceived for the ensemble Enchanted Voices, these carols for SSA voices and organ (or piano) represent the composer’s desire for the tunes and texts to be heard in a new and fresh way. Largely contemplative, sometimes set against a gently-undulating foundation, these work well for concert and church use. Sometimes ethereal, sometimes other-worldly, the pieces succeed in bringing together the ancient purity of the medieval past and the here and now. Duration 4:31
