Audiences have always loved Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" at the holiday season. Composed for chorus with orchestra, this arrangement presents this classic work as a brass quartet (taking the role of the chorus) with band accompaniment. Quartet parts are included for two trumpets, trombone (or baritone in either clef, or horn) and baritone (in either clef.) Transposed to B-flat major, this arrangement sounds very full and sonorous, and can be prepared with a minimal amount of rehearsal time. A guaranteed holiday spectacular which will enthrall your audience!
