This is an arrangement for 2 trumpets, organ and optional timpani. This would make an great opener on a concert. Originally for 2 trumpets, choir, and strings, the organ really helps to create a terrific new sound.
George Frederick Handel Books
A masterful composer of operas and oratorios, whose music often delves into profound human emotions and spiritual themes. With a keen sense for drama and melody, Handel crafted compelling works that resonated with audiences, solidifying his place in the musical landscape.
Eighth Note Publications Flexible Band/String Series is the ultimate in flexibility with non standard instrumentation for ensembles with incomplete instrumentation or odd combinations. These pieces are playable by as few as 5 woodwind, brass or string players with or without percussion. This creates the opportunity for a mixed quintet to perform these titles but also allows for performance for 10-15 players up to full a band/orchestra with parts doubling. Great for music camps, contest use or any band room that has non standard instrumentation. This is one of Handel's best known melodies. This version of the famous Hail the Conquering Hero opens with a solo, gradually adds voices and builds in dynamic, then the sound drops to a duet which starts the building again. Everyone gets a section of melody making it interesting for all. (3:10)
