Hymnsembles - Volume 4 (Strings)

Hymnsembles are designed to serve large ensembles with non-traditional, or incomplete, instrumentation. Each selection is a compact but complete arrangement featuring: introduction, well-known melody, contrapuntal interest, textural variety, harmonic freshness and/or modulations, expressive contrast, and a satisfying ending. Groups with limited instrumentation may use the cues and/or switch parts to balance and customize the arrangement as needed. This allows for creative fashioning for each performance. The conductor score is a reduction of all the instrumental parts while the keyboard may play either the piano fill or duplicate/support the instrumental parts.
