God Of Our Fathers
$24.95
For brass choir, percussion and organ. This is a massive work in expression. It begins with the brass in a fanfare opening. The theme is then presented in the middle and low brass with the trumpets adding splashes of punctuation. The thematic material then alternates between the middle and low brass with the organ. The trumpets then add in with a sweeping transition and the organ goes to work supplying most of the action. The brass alternate between high and low instruments to make color shifts. They all join in together leading up to a massive conclusion where a congregation or vocal ensemble can sing the final verse with the brass and organ alternating by adding fanfare motives right up to the final punctuated chords.
