This is a complete BRASS BAND Set of 26 parts ( including Percussion & Timpani) plus score. See score for details of contents and voicings.
36 popular carols arranged in 4 part harmony. Designed to be playable by any combination from quartet to full brass band, wind band or orchestra, the arrangements in this book will provide a practical solution to all your carolling needs. Parts are divided strictly Into SOPRANO, ALTO, TENOR and BASS so that any suitable instrumentation will sound well, provided that an equal balance of players per ‘voice’ is maintained. The carols are printed In alphabetical order, so they are easy to find, and comprehensively indexed under both first line and name of tune. Aimed primarily at brass and wind bands, and in an effort to keep top E flat as the highest note for singing, the keys that have been chosen are mainly on the flat side. String parts are provided so that Instrumentation is comprehensive, but it may be found easier to raise some of the keys when a predominantly string ensemble Is used, This can be done without actual transposition and Is a common trick among organists: for example a piece In G flat or D flat can be played In G or D merely by changing the key signature and altering any accidentals, Dynamics have not been used and are at the discretion of the conductor. The score and all the parts are available separately and standard brass and wind band sets (25 parts in each) can be ordered at a cheaper rate. These sets do not contain the Score, Timpani or Percussion parts. Instrumentation is as follows:
