Augsburg Fortress

Here is a classic hymn concertato on “Earth and All Stars” by Walter L. Pelz for choir, organ, brass and opt. assembly. The accompaniment is energetic and exciting, designed to enthusiastically support the singing of this hymn in worship or concert. While the text is presented as it is found in Evangelical Lutheran Worship, the stanzas and interludes are clearly labeled in the parts to allow flexibility when using the brass to accompany other texts using this tune or other adaptations of the same stanzas. The instrumental parts are scored for either brass quartet (2 trumpets, 2 trombones) or brass sextet (3 trumpets, 3 trombones).
