| Description: |
This concert arrangement for male choir uses the broad and heartfelt melody that Robert Burns originally intended to be paired with his "Auld Lang Syne" lyric. From a gentle and pensive opening, the arrangement steadily builds -- as the poem extols the virtues of brotherhood, friendship, and faithfulness -- to a truly stirring conclusion.
The piano part in this piano-choral score may be used as the sole accompaniment in performances of the work; or the piano may be replaced by a chamber ensemble of flute, clarinet, French horn, violin, cello, and contrabass. It is actually this chamber ensemble version of the piece -- or at least a MIDI approximation of it -- that is heard in the accompanying audio preview. Should you wish to perform the arrangement in this version, please contact the arranger via this website to inquire about purchasing the full score and parts. |
