For Woodwind Quintet
Bring some patriotic spirit to your audiences with this intermediate digital download arrangement for woodwind quintet of William Steffe and Sammy Nestico's "Battle Hymn of the Republic." It is perfect for Pops recitals, patriotic and Americana concerts, background dinner music gigs, children's concerts, and educational outreach. It was written for upper-level high school, college, and professional ensembles. As always, I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon.
This patriotic favorite features stunning harmonic colors, powerful dynamic contrasts, and an emotional progression to the stirring finale. This concert band favorite has been recorded and performed widely by premier military ensembles, including the United States Air Force Band and the United States Coast Guard Band. Originally scored for a full concert band. I hope you enjoy this unique setting for winds.
