Product Description

This is a spacious and meditative arrangement of the patriotic hymn tune Melita. The first trumpeter waits until the 35th measure before playing Taps above the final phrases of Melita, and the dramatic effect of these two iconic tunes in counterpoint is compelling. The nineteen page download includes five individual brass parts and a two-page organ score. (See also my similar style arrangement of My Country, Tis of Thee, with Taps).
