Composed by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Arranged by Richard Decker. 20th Century,Christmas,Contest,Easter,Festival,Praise & Worship. 41 pages. Charles Decker Music Press #756379. Published by Charles Decker Music Press (A0.1156067).Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was an early 20th century English composer, conductor and influential advocate for Black composers. His numerous choir anthems offer dramatic performance opportunities for church or concert hall. His festival anthem SATB choral anthem Lift Up Your Heads is an expressive and dramatic work enhanced with brass quartet accompaniment of two B-flat trumpets and two trombones with alternate F horn and treble clef euphonium parts for the trombone parts. The organ/piano part can be used for chorus preparation or as additional performance support. However, not using the keyboard part in its entirety for a performance in addition to the brass group creates more interesting interplay of timbres. Conductors should ensure accompaniment parts don't overwhelm the chorus if the keyboard part is added with the brass. The recording is of the entire edition.
“The Music of Black Composers Series is a welcome and timely addition to the brass repertoire. Interesting music, expertly arranged, and well received by audiences. Highly recommended!” Wesley Nance, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Eastman School of Music
