Come Thou Fount – Brass Choir

Description

One of twelve outstanding arrangements from Ralph Carmichael’s 1971 Brass Choir album. This setting of the great hymn Come Thou Fount opens with a mellow introduction which is followed by the first verse in the trumpets. The second verse modulates and passes the melody to the horns. The third verse is in modulates yet again and this time the melody is given to the trombones. The fourth verse returns to the original key and concludes in much the same style as the opening. Suitable for advanced players.
