Hymne

The hymn can be performed as either a trio or a sextet. The mandatory three-part arrangement is rich in tone and technically straightforward, whereas the more challenging optional chorus embellishes the composition and adds richer harmonies and rhythmic elements to the music. The hymn comes with a piano reduction and is also ideally suited for mixed ensembles. The part scores included with the full score are considered legally acquired templates for copying. This allows each ensemble to produce the necessary part scores on its own.

Possible instrumentations:

1st & 4th parts: Violin / treble viol / flute / oboe / tenor recorder / clarinet / soprano saxophone / trumpet
2nd & 5th part: Viola / Cello / Alto or treble viola da gamba / Bass recorder / English horn / Clarinet / Bassoon / Horn
3. & 6th part: Cello / Double bass / Bass viola da gamba or violone / Bass clarinet / Bassoon / Trombone / Tuba
Piano reduction: Organ / Piano / Harpsichord
