Description:

An exciting fanfare by brass and organ sets up the opening unison stanza of this moving arrangement. The a cappella third stanza is independent and quieter. Perhaps not surprisingly, the concluding stanza is tutti, complete with a soaring soprano descant. Note that the brass quintet is necessary for a performance of this concertato (horn in F may substitute for trombone I). The organ part is included in both the full score and octavo editions.

Horn in F can be substituted for Trombone I.
