Composed by Various. Arranged by Colin Kirkpatrick. Easter,Sacred. Score and parts. 81 pages. Colin Kirkpatrick Publications #3420781. Published by Colin Kirkpatrick Publications (A0.522204).This is an essential collection of twenty-two favorite Easter hymns arranged for string quartet, string quintet or string orchestra. Designed for school, college or church this useful collection should be in your library! The double bass is optional, because it doubles the cello part throughout. There’s a piano part too, so you can also use the arrangements as string solos, duets or trios. They are intended either as stand-alone pieces that could be used as interludes in an Easter service, or they could be used to accompany solo, choral or congregational singing. The music has been set in string-friendly keys and leans towards G major, D major and C major. The piano part has been written for with the early intermediate pianist in mind, though some hymns are actually quite easy. In a string orchestra, you can brighten the sound by instructing a few of the more advanced violin players to play an octave higher in both 1st and 2nd violin parts. You can also use the arrangements as flute or oboe solo pieces, the wind instrument playing the 1st violin part.
Skillfully arranged by Colin Kirkpatrick, the 22 hymns include: Amazing Grace; And Can it Be? (Sagina); At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing (Salzburg); Christ the Lord is Risen Again! (Würtemburg); Crown Him with Many Crowns (Diademata); Jesus Christ is Risen Today (Easter Hymn); Jesus Lives! (St. Albinus); Love’s Redeeming Work is Done (Savannah); Low in the Grave He Lay (Lowry); There is a Green Hill Far Away (Horsley); Near the Cross (Doane); O Sacred Head Now Wounded (Passion Chorale); The Day of Resurrection (Ellacombe); The Strife is O'er, the Battle Won (Victory); Rock of Ages (Toplady); Thine be the Glory (Maccabæus); This Joyful Eastertide (Easter-tide); To God be the Glory! (Doane); When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (Hamburg); When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (Rockingham); Were You There When They Crucified my Lord? and Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem (St. Fulbert).
