Publisher's Synopsis
Scroll below for a video of the score as played in Finale. This arrangement requires the Grade 3 technical skills, range, and maturity of high school or college-level performers and accomplished pianist. After a short introduction, the melodic theme is introduced by the soloist in Concert Key of E minor. There is a modulation into F Minor for the 3rd and final verse. The range is not extreme, rhythmic demands are minimal, and the tune, which is well known, makes this an easy piece to put together and a popular choice for performances in many types of church services during the Christmas season. This volume contains a piano score accompanying a C Instrument in Bass Clef. There are individual instrumental parts for * C Instrument in Treble Clef (Flute, Oboe, Violin), * Bb Instrument in Treble Clef (Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone, Trumpet), * Eb Instrument in Treble Clef (Alto Clarinet, Alto Saxophone), * F Instrument in Treble Clef (Horn in F), * C Instrument in Bass Clef (Bassoon, Trombone, Euphonium, Cello), * Low C Instrument in Bass Clef (String Bass, Tuba), and a part in alto clef for viola. This is a beautiful piece to prepare and perform, especially as you work to develop the hauntingly sonorous sounds between the piano and the instrumental soloist. Audiences will love it!
