Simon Dobson: Little Hymn: Brass Band: Score and Parts

Little Hymn was composed by award-winning composer Simon Dobson (b.1981) to provide an alternative to the traditional hymn tune settings that provide one of the foundations of the brass band repertoire. This simple haunting melody begins on a brass quartet without cornets. The full band joins for the second part which rises to a richly textured climax before receding to a quiet reflective close.
