The following is considered to be Standard Instrumentation: There is no separate number for Bass Trombone, but it can generally be assumed that if there are multiple Trombone parts, the lowest part can/should be performed on Bass Trombone. Thus, the Copland Fanfare shown above is for 3 Trumpets, 4 Horns, 3 Trombones, no Euphonium, 1 Tuba and Tympani. Any additional instruments (Tympani in this example) are indicated by a "w/" (meaning "with") or by using a plus sign. The first number stands for Trumpet, the second for Horn, the third for Trombone, the fourth (separated from the first three by a dot) for Euphonium and the fifth for Tuba. The bracketed numbers tell you how many of each instrument are in the ensemble.

Rimsky-Korsakov Quintet in Bb Item: 26746 Listening to Britten – Welcome Ode, Op.Following many of the titles in our Wind Ensemble catalog, you will see a set of numbers enclosed in square brackets, as in this example:.Listening to Britten – Praise We Great Men.The choral version with Louis Halsey and the Elizabethan Singers is hereĪlso written in 1940: Walton – The Wise Virgins Jamie MacDougall and Malcolm Martineau are very good too. Both performers slow slightly for the ‘young and foolish’ line, stressing Britten’s minor-key diversion that gives the song its melancholic edge. As for the more modern versions, Philip Langridge sings this beautifully, with a floating tenor line that gets the ultimate complement from Graham Johnson’s piano. The Pears-Britten version of this is mandatory, sung and accompanied as if in a timeless trance. Jamie MacDougall (tenor), Malcolm Martineau (piano) (Hyperion)Įlizabethan Singers / Louis Halsey (Eloquence) Philip Langridge (tenor), Graham Johnson (piano) (Naxos) Peter Pears (tenor), Benjamin Britten (piano) (Decca) This is a key which, as John Bridcut points out, gives more of a ‘black key’ feel to the piece and is much less open. ![]() It is easy to see why this was a first choice for Britten – Pears’ voice fits it perfectly, especially with the key set as G flat major. There is a deep sense of longing in the harmonies Britten chooses to go with the tune here, and he achieves this as early as possible in the piano introduction, despite the words remaining largely positive until the revelation at the end that ‘now I am full of tears’. The Salley Gardens is simple and moving, a truly yearning song that makes the most of its beautiful melody. This is one of the best-loved of all Britten’s arrangements, and as a result the composer arranged it for a number of forces – singer and orchestra and unison chorus with piano being two of the most popular. They were begun in New York when the composer was undergoing a bout of homesickness, but The Salley Gardens is the first in a long list of many folksong arrangements made by Britten, right up until the year of his death.
