Fanfare arrangement of VOM HIMMEL HOCH by Martin Luther, opening with a challenging first verse for trumpet. Second verse features Trumpet with the melody, exploring new tonal territory. The third verse contrasts greatly, with a quiet solo stop from organ and Trumpet accompanying with a straight mute. Finally, the last verse brings this arrangement home with a march-like maestoso. New harmonies and engaging rhythmic counterpoint decorate this classic tune, typically used with a Christmas text. Intermediate difficulty for organ, Advanced difficulty for Trumpet (straight mute required for 1 verse). Appropriate as a Fanfare Prelude or Postlude in a traditional church service. Copyright 2016 First performed on Reformation Sunday, 2016 at Faith Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, DE. Recorded performance of this piece available on my album, Sanctuary: A Musical Refuge for the Soul. See Track 10 featuring Barbara Prugh on Trumpet. This recording was also featured July 27, 2023 on the WVUD 91.3FM Newark Fine-Tuning program, hosted by Bel Canto. Finally, a video performance of this piece can be seen on my YouTube channel.
