About this arrangement

B-Flat Trumpet,Choir,Euphonium,Horn,Trombone - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1144121 Composed by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Arranged by Richard Decker. 20th Century,Christian,Christmas,Easter,Praise & Worship. 47 pages. Charles Decker Music Press #744435. Published by Charles Decker Music Press (A0.1144121). Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was an early 20th century English composer and conductor who was an influential advocate for Black composers. His numerous choir anthems offer dramatic performance opportunities for church or the concert hall.  His Easter SATB choral anthem The Lord is My Strength, is an expressive and dramatic work enhanced with brass quartet accompaniment of two B-flat trumpets and two trombones with alternate F horn and treble clef euphonium parts provided for the trombone parts. The organ/piano part can be used for chorus preparation as well as additional support for performances if desired. However, not using the keyboard part in its entirety for a performance in addition to the brass group will create a more interesting interplay of different timbres. Conductors should ensure accompaniment parts don't overwhelm the chorus especially if the keyboard part is added with the brass.
