Songs of Praise
This publication, originally published in 1988 as the Youth Songbook, is a supplementary song book. The brass arrangements are in the standard four-part scheme, like those of the Band Tune Book.

The Baritone part is written as divisi. The lower alternative is included for the less-skilled player. The actual third part of the arrangement is in the upper voice. The Euphonium part serves a dual purpose. For each tune, the Euphonium part has either the melody (doubling the first part) or the principal counter-melody. When the counter-melody is present, then the melody is printed in cue-size notes. The Trombone parts take advantage of the bright sound of the instrument for "color" effects. In small groups with no Second Horn or Baritone, the baritone part can be played by a trombone in order to supply the third voice. |
