About this arrangement

10-part Brass Choir - Advanced SKU: CY.CC3040 Composed by Anton Bruckner. Arranged by Stuart O'Neil. Classical. Score and Parts. Cherry Classics #CC3040. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC3040). ISBN 9790530110157. 8.5 x 11 in inches.Ecce Sacerdos Magnus (Behold the Great Priest) comes from the early European tradition of plainchant. Bruckner's setting of the responsory, originally scored for eight-part mixed choir, organ and three trombones, brings certain medieval qualities to an otherwise Romantic-era composition. This transcription for 10-part brass choir is appropriate for intermediate level and above and attempts to retain the majesty, power, and beauty of the original piece. It should be approached as a choral piece: connected and fluid. The harmonic language is essentially triadic; great care should be taken in the tuning of each chord throughout the piece. Instrumentation is for: 3 Trumpets in B-flat, 2 Horns, 3 Trombones, Euphonium and Tuba. Listen to the live performance by a young group of musicians conducted by Dr. Paul Stevens, Professor of Horn at KU.
