Product Overview
Carol Book of The Salvation Army. Band arrangements for all the songs and carols in the Choral Edition, plus a further twenty popular Christmas tunes.
Brass parts are scored for Triumph Series instrumentation except only one Baritone Bb part. The instrumental arrangements correspond to the choral settings in the vocal edition of Christmas Praise.
In the arrangements of the tunes a basic four-part layout has been adopted:
SOPRANO Solo and 1st Cornet Bb, Melody Bb, Flute and Melody C
ALTO 2nd Cornet Bb, Solo and 1st Horn Eb*, Alto Eb, Alto C and Alto F
TENOR 2nd Horn Eb, Baritione Bb, Tenor Eb, Tenor Bb*, Tenor Alto Clef, Tenor C and Tenor F
BASS Bass Eb, Bass Bb and Bass C**
Other parts are employed in doubling, decoration or colouring. A separate timpani part is provided, which in some instances requires the use of pedal timpani. However, timpanists are urged to exercise their discretion in their tunings if this facility is not available.
* A separate Solo Horn part is not issued. There is no division of Baritones into 1st and 2nd, the parts being combined in one book, mainly in unison.
** The Bass C part has been devised so that it is possible for it to be played by either a String Bass or a Tuba player exercising discretion in their choice of notes.
Alternative parts available for (soprano) Bb & C Treble Clef; (alto) Bb, Eb, C & F Treble Clef; (tenor) Bb, Eb & F Treble Clef, Alto Clef and Bass Clef; Trombone parts 1 & 2, Bb Treble Clef, and Bass Clef; Euphonium Bb Treble Clef and Bass Clef; (bass) Bb Treble Clef and Bass Clef.
