A Mighty Fortress
Publisher Desc.
Here is a compelling setting of Martin Luther's hymn "A Mighty
Fortress Is Our God" (EIN FESTE BURG) by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1750).
Originally composed for organ, it has been arranged for Concert Band with
optional keyboard. Two harmonizations of the isometric version of the hymn
are also provided. The first is a standard harmonization found in many
hymnals. The second is based on the concluding Chorale of Cantata 80 by
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Including the music of both Bach and Pachelbel,
this arrangement serves as an excellent introduction to the music of the
Baroque era and the contributions of great Lutheran musical composers. It
also provides opportunities to discuss the time of the Reformation. For
worship the arrangement can be played alone or it can be used to accompany
congregational singing. The Full Score is formatted for legal-size paper
(8.5x14) while the parts are formatted for letter-size paper (8.5x11).
Additional arrangements are available for Brass (S0.1120153), Woodwind
Quintet (S0.1120191), and Strings (S0.1121677). For more music and
