United Kingdom National Anthem: God Save the King

Colin Kirkpatrick's National Anthems Express UNITED KINGDOM: God Save the King This quick and easy national anthem arrangement is essential for travelling musicians, bands, instrumental groups and both amateur and professional ensembles. You can play it with any virtually any combination of instruments: symphonic band, clarinet choir, brass ensemble, brass band, solos, duets and trios - almost anything! This arrangement is in G major (the traditional key) and six independent parts each transposed into a variety of keys. For the most satisfying sound you'll need to get a good balance between each part possibly with an emphasis on the melodic line. If you have a non-standard ensemble, you can "pick 'n' mix" as required. The piano reduction can "fill" missing parts or can be used as the basis for an accompaniment. This arrangement consists of a two-page score with seven instrumental staves and three percussion staves. The following parts are printed on separate pages. Part 1 in B flat (clarinet, trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn, soprano sax); Part 1 in C (flute, oboe, piccolo, glockenspiel, violin); Part 1 in E flat (alto sax, E flat clarinet); Part 1a in C (octave above concert for flute, piccolo, oboe, violin) and Part 1a in E flat (E flat cornet in brass band).
