Twenty-three patriotic and seasonal selections, hymns, gospel songs and choruses
From the Forward:

EASY ENSEMBLE MUSIC is a collection of patriotic and seasonal selections, hymns, gospel songs and choruses. It has been prepared for use by church ensembles in various types of programs and services. It is also practical for school ensembles, which today are an important adjunct of the instrumental music teaching program.

This volume is intended to help provide worthwhile and instructive music that is interesting to perform for players just beyond the beginner stage (or Grade II as defined by the Instrumentalist Magazine.) It will probably be used most often by youngsters who will need to spend time in individual practice before performing the selections with a group. However, more experienced musicians will find the contents pleasant to play without being taxing. Most selections are of modest length, have ample time for lead parts to catch their breath, and do not make undue demands upon range, technique, or rhythmic virtuosity.

All selections are scored for a five (or four) part brass ensemble. Performing groups must have at least one book for each part (with the possible exception of Part 5, Tuba) in order to obtain satisfactory harmony. The parts are distinguished as follows:

Part 1: C Instruments (Violin, Oboe, Flute); 1st Bb Trumpet or Cornet (Bb Clarinet)
Part 2: 2nd Bb Trumpet or Cornet (Bb Clarinet)
Part 3: Trombone (Baritone bass clef, Bassoon, Cello); F Horn (English Horn); Eb Horn (Alto Saxophone, Eb Alto Clarinet)
Part 4: Trombone (Baritone bass clef, Bassoon, Cello); Baritone treble clef (Tenor Saxophone, Bass Clarinet)
Part 5: Tuba or Sousaphone (Bassoon or Cello with occasional lower range limits, String Bass 8vb)

III. Fair Winds, Following Seas

Song describes the storm blowing over, waves subsiding, the sun peeking through, and safe sailing ahead.

Fair winds, following seas is a term used by mariners, who use this term synonymously with the points of sail below a beam reach, since the wind direction is generally the same as the sea direction. Therefore, the phrase Fair winds and following seas, implies that a vessel will have good winds, and not have to pound into the waves. – Wikipedia

·        Flowing, lilting melody

·        Left hand arpeggios, single note melody with some full chords in right hand

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.787260

Composed by Greg Bartholomew. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary,Standards. Octavo. 8 pages. Burke & Bagley #49723. Published by Burke & Bagley (A0.787260).

An Open World, When I Land and And the Wind are three settings for unaccompanied mixed choir (SATB) of poems from Fletcher LaVallee Bartholomew's collection entitled And the Wind: Gnostic Poems 1945 - 1979. And the Wind is duration ca. 4 minutes.

Minneapolis native Fletcher Bartholomew spent most of his life in aviation, beginning with a childhood flight in a Curtis Robin in 1929. His work in aviation started with a job as an inspector in an aircraft factory. He went on to become a test pilot in World War II, serving at the South India Air Depot at Bangalore, India. He often spoke later of his experience on the ship to India and the people he met travelling around the subcontinent. He subsequently worked in aviation in Munich, Germany, and in Lima, Peru, before he concluded his career working in airport planning and management.

 And the Wind:
 There is an awesome beauty found in sailing
Through black of night upon the open sea,
Your vessel mauled by unseen waves and trailing
Her phosphorescent wake, as steadily, She plows into the darkness,
And the wind.
