Lord Nelson Mass for Instruments: 5. Credo
0Every year, members of the community combine with the students of my alma mater, MSSU (Missouri Southern State University) to form the Southern Symphonic Chorus, and alongside the Southern Symphony Orchestra, we perform beautiful orchestral works from Beethoven's 9th to Orff's Carmina Burana, and everything in between or of a similar nature. Performing these masterworks is a lot of fun, and does a great service to my hometown of Joplin, MO.
This year's masterwork would have been Joseph Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass, divided into 11 parts; this is Part 5. (Of the 11 sections, Part 10 has no rehearsal track because it is only for the soloists, and I'm just in the chorus). Sadly the performance didn't happen due to COVID-19.
I remade the track for instruments with the following criteria:
Alto saxophone (representing soprano part)
Tenor saxophone (representing alto part)
Glockenspiel (representing tenor part but playing at least two octaves higher due to score placement)
Baritone saxophone (representing bass part)
Vibraphone (also playing bass part one octave higher)
Piano (accompaniment)
Marimba (in grand staff, playing same piano accompaniment)
The instruments are playing both the soloist parts and the tutti (whole chorus) parts.
