My Jesus O What Anguish

John McAllister Music

Classical Chorales is a set of five "classical music" pieces arranged in a chorale/teaching style for concert band. This set includes: New World Symphony (Dvorak), 1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky), Piano Concerto No. 5 (Beethoven), Abendfeier in Venedig (C. Schumann), Ave Corpus Verum (Mozart). The dynamics and specific musical markings have been stripped away to give the director/teacher the most leeway. For example, maybe you want to work only at softer mp-p-pp dynamics. Another customizable option would be to have the ensemble follow the conducting: dynamics, style/articulation, tempo, etc. 

This series aims to assist both young and old musicians in connecting with classical music. Studying and practicing these pieces can establish a sense of familiarity that may spark interest in the original compositions. And while Bach's chorales are exceptional (the industry standard!), these new arrangements can add some variety to the repertoire. 

I recommend listening to the chorales in their original setting and having a conversation about musicality and interpretation. Encouraging young musicians to listen to various recordings can help refine their listening skills. Music educators understand that music is multi-layered, and one can spend their entire life listening, learning, and reflecting. These chorales can serve as a valuable tool for developing a rich ensemble sound and further, instilling a lifelong love of music.
