A thoughtful ending for your concert. - Saints Alive! (When the Saints Go Marching In)
Available for TTBB now, for SSA(A), SATB and SAB shortly. So what’s different about this version of “When the Saints Go Marching In”? Well, it has a brand new introduction that really sets the scene and builds up the excitement; it has a traditional jazz section with parts for kazoos; it has a touch of George Frederick Handel during the verse “And on that hallelujah day”; it has echoes of a New Orleans marching band….. In fact, it has everything! If you know Alan Simmons’ arrangements of “Amen” and “Give Me That Old Time Religion” you’ll get the idea! - Danny Boy (Londonderry Air)
Alan Simmons’s new arrangement of one of the world’s best-loved melodies. Available for TTBB and SSA now, SATB and SAB shortly - Nimrod (Agnus Dei)
Available for TTBB now, and for other voice combinations shortly Elgar’s “Nimrod” is the most famous of the “Enigma” Variations. Originally written for orchestra, but like Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings, it lends itself very readily to voices. In this arrangement the words used are those of the Agnus Dei. The accompaniment can be piano or organ, or both.
