About this arrangement

Brass Quintet SKU: PE.EP68779 Arranged for Brass Band by Phillip Littlemore (Score). Composed by Eriks Esenvalds. Arranged by Phillip Littlemore. Edition Peters. Contemporary. Score. 8 pages. Edition Peters #98-EP68779. Published by Edition Peters (PE.EP68779). ISBN 9790300762425.O Salutaris Hostia is one of Eriks Ešenvalds' most popular pieces. Originally written for female voices, the composer later created a version for full choir on which this arrangement is based. It has a gentle meditation with the two soloists drifting across the soft band accompaniment, alternately echoing and imitating each other or joining together in thirds. The effect is quietly ecstatic, a brief moment of adoration and wonderment. This arrangement can be played with either two cornets or two euphoniums as soloists as the accompaniment works just as effectively with either.Brings contemporary choral repertoire by a leading international composer to the band worldArrangement of Eriks Ešenvalds' highly successful choral piece 'O Salutaris Hostia'Arranged by brass band specialist Phillip LittlemorePart of EP Brass Band SeriesMeditative, beautiful piece, highly attractive for audiences, and proven success as a choral workSuitable for intermediate band at 2nd Section and aboveOrchestration:1 1st Bb Soloist, 1 2nd Bb Soloist, 1 Eb Soprano Cornet, 1 Bb Solo Cornet (marked tacet), 1 Bb Repiano Cornet, 2 2nd Bb Cornet, 2 3rd Bb Cornet, 1 Bb Flugel Horn, 1 Solo Eb Horn, 1 1st Eb Horn, 1 2nd Eb Horn, 1 1st Bb Baritone, 1 2nd Bb Baritone, 1 1st Bb Trombone, 1 2nd Bb Trombone, 1 Bass Trombone, 1 Bb Euphonium (marked tacet), 2 Eb Basses, 2 Bb Basses, Timpani, 1 Percussion (suspended cymbal)
