Trumpet
Descants for 101 Noteworthy Hymns Lorna
Tedesco has done a brilliant job of bringing together two
descants for 101 familiar and beloved hymn tunes from seasonal songs
and carols to traditional favorites for the regular church year. For
each hymn tune there are two descants,one that could
be played by an amateur, and a second more suitable for the seasoned
professional. The descants may be used separately or they may be played
together for a stunning effect.
The hymn melody is also
transposed into the key appropriate
for the B-flat instrument, so that it can be played on alternate verses
without the descant. For each selection there is a full score for the
keyboard with the descants printed above, together with separate scores
for the trumpeters (also appropriate for other B-flat instruments).
Several of the hymns are published in
two keys to make them equally
accessible to a variety of denominations. These descants will be a
welcome and beautiful enhancement to your congregational singing. |

Hymn Descants for Treble Instruments By Charles Evans. In this spiral-bound compendium are descants for 85 hymn tunes cross referenced to 314 hymn titles found in the standard hymnals of today's church. Although designed with the timbre and range of the trumpet in mind, each descant is presented in both concert and B flat pitches (and often multiple keys) and is suitable for most treble instruments. The level of difficultly is accessible for most serious high school musicians, while maintaining a musical credibility for professional players. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company.
