This has become
a staple of band
literature. Claude Smith
is well known for taking
hymn tunes and creating
wonderful pieces of
music. Trumpet and
trombone trios are
featured in the opening
statement, followed by
free-flowing Rubato flute
solo. A piccolo and
bassoon duet follow in
the next section.
Variations of the theme
appear in the fugato
section, followed by the
full chorale. The
audience may sing the
hymn tune during the full
chorale. The triumphant
ending features the horn
section which leads to an
emotional finale. God of
Our Fathers is also
available for full
orchestra, and an edition
for SATB Choir with
piano/organ, which may be
used in a massed
band/orchestra/choir
setting as well. An
audience favorite and one
of Smith’s most
popular works.

Here is a work
that was ahead of its
time. If you are looking
for a work filled with
excitement and adventure,
then Acclamation is your
piece! Smith gets right
into it with an energetic
ostinato and a fragment
of his original theme.
The snare drum’s
ruff is highlighted as a
transition into a slow
section in 6/4, with one
of Smith’s most
luscious melodies.
English Horn is featured
with flute in the slow
section as well, but with
optional cues for alto
saxophone. Acclamation
makes its way back to
Allegro with the usual
percussion section
getting us to the
original material.
Several solos are
highlighted. Well
constructed and a piece
to be used for contest;
also one which will be
enjoyed by audiences
alike.

Amazing Grace
is one of the most
well-known spiritual
songs known to date.
Claude T. Smith cleverly
created this band setting
forming variations
throughout. With
Smith’s passing in
December of 1987, this
was one of the final
works he produced. This
flexible arrangement
allows ensembles to

Legendary
composer W. Francis
McBeth once said, If
Claude Smith only wrote
the fanfare to Eternal
Father, he would still be
a legend. Smith takes the
Navy’s hymn as the
basis for his fanfare.
This famous hymn tune,
normally in the major
key, has now been placed
in the minor key then
transitions to Allegro
Vivace. The hymn tune is
put through its paces
including several
variations and two
fugatos (one for the
woodwinds and one for
brass). A short
transition,(including the
famous 7/8 measure!) to
the now well-known
setting for French horn
quartet, gives us an
emotional rendition of
the original hymn tune
now in the major key. The
full band plays the hymn,
and a timpani roll takes
us back to the original
fanfare now in C major. A
classic of literature and
a composition which will
provide a meaningful
experience for musician
and audience member
alike.

The first of
two trumpet solos Smith
wrote for Carl Doc
Severinsen. If you have a
trumpet player par
excellence, then this
piece is for your soloist
and band. It begins with
a dramatic opening
followed by an Allegro.
Smith then weaves in the
blues for the soloist to
play a wonderful lyric
melody first, followed by
an opportunity to adlib
with the chord
progression. The
accompaniment is a grade

Overture
Romantique begins with a
pounding ostinato of low
brass and timpani, which
then accompanies a short,
dramatic introduction of
the thematic material,
which then lends itself
to an Adagio. The Allegro
propels the band into a
rousing section of
woodwind runs, multiple
meter changes and a
transitional fanfare. The
center section of the
piece features an
ostinato in 3/2, with
alternating sections in
4/2 and 5/2. An
appearance by the
transitional fanfare is
played, and music
previously stated
returns. One final
hearing of the first
theme, which leads to a
marvelous Eb major chord,
features the ostinato and
the trombones stating the
opening music one more
time. One of
Smith’s first
virtuoso efforts for the
concert band.

Smith’s
first published march. A
bravura opening fanfare
punctuated with the
percussion forces open
this march. The first
strain gives us a jaunty
tune with baritones and
trombones playing the
countermelody. The second
strain refers back to the
opening fanfares with
percussion section soli
banding about. A reserved
trio tune played by
clarinets, first horn and
baritone are assisted
with chromatic runs
played by flute, oboe,
muted first trumpet and
bells. The opening
fanfares return in the
break strain, which then
gives us a terrific trio
strain. Accessible and
playable for all
musicians!

Sound of The Winds, Sonus
Ventorum begins with a
dramatic opening for full
band. This gives way to
an exciting Allegro with
trombones and saxophones
playing the ostinato. The
secondary theme is
fragmented and
foreshadowed prior to the
second announcement of
the first theme. The
piece ends with both
themes being played
together. Great teaching
elements in Sonus
Ventorum include the 7/8
measure, and several
rhythmic challenges as
well. One of Smithâ??s

O Come, O Come,
Emmanuel is a Christmas
prelude originally
commissioned by the
Papillion, Nebraska
Junior High School
Symphonic Band under the
direction of Kenneth A.
Molzer. This widely
popular song relates to
Advent and Christmas.
Claude T. Smith expanded
upon the original hymn
adding deeper musical
interest to this already
timeless classic. This
flexible arrangement
allows ensembles to
perform the work with as
few as twelve musicians
providing accessibility
and flexibility for
numerous instrumentation
needs, while still
allowing a full ensemble
sound. *The posted
recording is based on the
full band scoring but
aligns with the suggested
preferences for either
woodwinds/strings or
brass suggested in the
score.
