I stumbled across this work last week while searching for a piece for my church's brass trio (trumpet/french horn/euph).
It's in three movements:
- All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name;
- Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen;
- Shall We Gather at the River.
Total playing time is around 11 minutes, however, the movements are self-contained, so they could be played on separate occasions, making it a bargain at $20. (We played Shall We Gather for the offertory and an excerpt of All Hail the Power for the postlude.) It's scored for trumpet/horn/trombone, but the works very nicely on euph, and could be transposed for french horn/alto trombone, tenor trombone/euph, and bass trombone/tuba.
This is FUN music to play and to listen to! (How often do you get to hear a wah-wah mute in church?) One feature that sets it apart from most brass trio arrangements is that, except for a few scattered measures here and there, the melody is shared back and forth between the Horn and Trombone.
Aside from two pedal Bbs (concert) and a high Bb and C (concert) an octave above the BC staff at the end of Shall We Gather, the trombone range stays between F (concert) below the BC staff to Ab above the staff (BC).
Highly recommended!
