Hymns For Multiple Instruments - Volume 2 (Bells/Snare/Bass Drum/Timpani)

Published in mid-sized (8-1/2 x 7) format, Hymns for Multiple Instruments are constructed in three stave systems to make available melody, harmony, obligato, and countermelody lines. These arrangements of well-known hymns are designed to be used for church, school or individual performances indoors or out and can be adapted for band, orchestra, woodwind, choir, brass choir, or string ensemble. As few as three parts will make a viable trio, and trios will sound complete with the melody, obligato, and countermelody with , or without, keyboard instruments. Each instrumental book contains three staves, including: (1) melody, (2) a harmony part appropriate to the range of the instrument, and (3) an obligato for upper-voiced instruments or counterline for lower voiced instruments. The melody, alto, tenor, or bass lines are graded at the level 1.5, while the obligato and countermelody parts are graded between 2.0 and 2.5, intended for the advanced instrumentalist. Both obligato or counter-lines are completely optional. Part distribution options for each instrument can be found listed on the inside front cover. The individual books will NOT work as a trio, even with keyboard except the trumpet book.
