Wachet Auf is a piece that has been arranged many times for a variety of different ensembles. This is a very full sound coming from an ensemble made up of 4 trumpets, 4 horns, 3 trombones, 1 euphonium, 1 tuba and 2 percussionists. The range is moderate and the technical demands are spread throughout the ensemble so 1 player is not overworked.
