LIECHTENSTEIN: Oben am jungen Rhein
Liechtenstein (officially the Principality of Liechtenstein) is a land-locked microstate in the mountains between Austria and Switzerland. It is a constitutional monarchy and has a total area of 62 square miles. The melody of Liechtenstein's national anthem is from England, and its almost identical to the British anthem except that the "chorus" is always repeated. The melody has been a national song in some European countries for many years and was used in the Swiss national anthem until 1961.
This quick and easy national anthem arrangement is essential for traveling musicians, bands, instrumental groups and both amateur and professional ensembles. You can play it with any virtually any combination of instruments: symphonic band, clarinet choir, brass ensemble, brass band, solos, duets and trios - almost anything!
This arrangement is in five independent parts each transposed into a variety of keys. For the most satisfying sound youll need to get a good balance between each part possibly with an emphasis on the melodic line. If you have a non-standard ensemble, you can "pick 'n' mix" as required. The piano reduction can "fill" missing parts or can be used as the basis for an accompaniment. The score and parts are presented in a single PDF file.
