Combocom Spirituals BA Ens Sc&Pts

Graham Buckland has arranged a rich variety of spirituals in this edition for variable instrumental ensemble. This edition consists of a full score and five individual instrumental parts. The full score includes a part of piano, keyboard or guitar and also contains the texts to the spirituals for a singer. In some cases additional vocal parts ad libitum are added. All arrangements are compatible with the edition for choir "64 Spirituals a cappella" (BA 7574).

Score with chords and 5 parts:
Melody I in C and Bb (Violin clef)
Melody II in C and Bb (Violin clef)
Melody III in C (Violin clef; Bass clef)
Melody III in C and F (Viola clef; Horn part)
Melody III in Bb and Eb (Violin clef)

combocom is Brenreiters series of music for variable ensemble. Each volume contains a full score for piano, keyboard or guitar, melody parts (in C, B-flat, and E-flat) and a part for bass instrument.

combocom also offers suggestions for using percussion. It thus permits a wide range of instrumental combinations: if the violin takes the top part, the saxophone can play the counter-melody and the cello the bass while the guitar strums the specified chords.

But many other combinations are possible too, whether at home, at school, or in a genuine band, combo or buskers' ensemble...
