However, if I were to hazard a guess I would say that the various arrangements for brass accompaniment are already in existence, as they may well have been used at C.H. Coming up with new arrangements to include woodwind etc. might not be feasible in the allotted time.
I suppose that woodwind instruments could be used to double up on the brass parts, but you probably wouldn't hear them.

not really as I can get arrangements for carols etc for full concert band, wind and brass. the band I play in has them.
it's not that difficult to find music for woodwind and brass.
ah well, enjoy the carols.

my message wasn't meant quite as abruptly as it probably sounded, I was really replying to Richard.kerrensimmonds wrote:Hi Eloise

It might be very helpful that you can get suitable arrangements.

unless there were going to be several woodwind players it wuld make sense to keep the music just brass

Slight confusion here - I wasn't for one moment suggesting that it's impossible to find the arrangements, I was just thinking that Adrian / C.H. probably already have arrangements for brass.eloisec wrote:my message wasn't meant quite as abruptly as it probably sounded, I was really replying to Richard.kerrensimmonds wrote:Hi Eloise

I don't know how much things have changed in the (many) intervening years, but when I was playing at C.H. any accompaniment to chapel (or any other) services was invariably provided by brass and brass only.
I was only imagining that if a couple of woodwind players were playing with a brass group you probably wouldn't hear them as brass players, on the whole, like to be heard!

Little being the operative word.....DavebytheSea wrote:He might show it to you during a break in rehearsal, if you ask him nicely. I understand it's quite a lively little instrument.
I guess too that there's only a certain amount that can be accomplished in the available time - Adrian's generously offered to direct again this year, which is fantastic and I'm sure we're all really grateful he's happy to do it again. It takes huge amounts of work to logistically make these things happen, so I guess not everything that we'd like to do can happen each year.
My suggestion would be to suggest the idea to Adrian for next year, canvass for volunteers very well in advance to prove it's viable (I guess he's fairly confident he'll get brass volunteers after last year), and then we've got a chance to make it happen next year?
