Product Description
This quick and easy national anthem arrangement is essential for
traveling musicians, bands, instrumental groups and both amateur and
professional ensembles. You can play it with any virtually any
combination of instruments: symphonic band,clarinet choir, brass
ensemble, brass band, solos, duets and trios - almost anything! This is the full version of the anthem (41 measures) which is used on formal, official occasions. Shorter versions are sometimes heard.
This
arrangement is in five independent parts each transposed into a variety
of keys. For the most satisfying sound youll need to get a good
balance between each part possibly with an emphasis on the melodic line.
If you have a non-standard ensemble, you can "pick 'n' mix" as
required. The piano reduction can "fill" missing parts or can be used as
the basis for an accompaniment.
This arrangement consists of
a five-page score with six instrumental staves (including timpani) and
three one-line percussion staves. The following parts are printed on separate
pages. The score and all the parts are contained in the same pdf file.
