Silent Night Brass Quintet with optional Unison Choir or Vocal Solo (trad. /arr. Dedrick) archive quintet

Grade 3

This lovely version of Silent Night was arranged by Chris Dedrick and features a horn solo to begin the piece. The arrangement is traditional and fresh at the same time, featuring a few unexpected passages.  Although it was written with a unison or solo vocal part to be included, it stands alone as a brass quintet without the singer(s) as the vocal line is doubled in the instrumental parts.  The instrumental version was recorded on the Canadian Brass CD, A Christmas Experiment which you can hear on the Youtube recording below. Full score, vocal and optional keyboard score and instrumental parts are included for the piece. Written for 2 Bb trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba.
