This is a setting for brass quintet of the 5 songs that best represent the 5 principal branches of the US Armed Forces. The intent here is to be faithful to the original spirit of this music, with characteristic style and harmony, and at a "pass in review" tempo appropriate to the parade ground.

Many different arrangements exist of this masterwork. Originally composed for choir and orchestra, here it is arranged for brass quintet and organ. Careful attention should be paid to articulation markings; unless otherwise indicated, all notes receive their full value. (Thanks to David Winkler for keyboard arrangement).

Hallelujah Chorus

This Christmas hymn of joy and triumph at the birth of the Messiah is the more thrilling when voices are supported by organ and brass. Thus is the Good News announced and echoed in a dialog of fanfare and flourish.

O Come, All Ye Faithful

Brass Sextet

The deeply theological hymn "Jesus Christ is Risen Today" was first published in 1739 by Charles Wesley, who was inspired by the Latin hymn "Christ Rose Today" from the "Lyra Davidica" (1708). Considered to be the definitive hymn for Easter Sunday, it is often sung in procession, as the glory of the Lord's Resurrection banishes the darkness of Good Friday. The organ and brass here support and amplify this exuberant, expressive hymn of joy. Alleluia!

Jesus Christ is Risen Today (LSB 457)

In the text, Charles Wesley tells us the entire gospel story of Christ's nature, his birth and incarnation, his ministry, and his salvific purpose. Wesley's words - a powerful combination of exclamation, exhortation, and theological reflection - are set to the stirring music of Felix Mendelssohn, who composed this originally for male voices and brass  "Glory to the new born King!"

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Based on the French noel tune, GLORIA, this hymn features the angels' chorus from Luke 2:14 for its refrain: "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" (Glory to God in the Highest). This is where the brass join in, calling forth praise like a bell carillon. For the final stanza, all instruments employ a French Baroque style appropriate to the presence of newborn royalty.

Angels We Have Heard On High  LSB 368

In this stirring hymn, Isaac Watts draws a connection between the birth of Christ into this world and the beginning of its future restoration through him. Albert Bailey writes, "It is one of the most joyous Christmas hymns in existence..[in its] deep and solemn realization of what Christ's birth has meant to mankind" (The Gospel in Hymns, 54) 
Never was a major scale put to better use, nor the brass, which together with organ repeat the sounding joy.

Joy to the World   LSB #387

The melody of this ancient advent hymn beautifully expresses its text. The verses long in mournful exile for His appearing, and the refrain calls upon the soul to rejoice in faith that He will do so.
