BrookWright Music: I Was Glad (Hubert Parry trs. Andrew Wainwright)

The latest release from BrookWright Music brings a touch of majesty to any concert programme.

BrookWright Music
  I Was Glad was sung at the coronation of Charles III

The latest release from BrookWright Music is Hubert Parry's 'I Was Glad'.

Originally a choral introit in the musical repertoire of the Anglican church, it is traditionally sung in the Church of England as an anthem at the coronation of the British monarch — most recently that of King Charles III.

Combination

This transcription by Andrew Wainwright for brass band, combines the choral and accompaniment parts meaning it is playable as a standalone arrangement.

An optional organ part is included to augment the brass, whilst the cornet section is divided into two choirs to create an antiphonal effect.

The 'Vivats' are included in this transcription but an optional cut is provided for that section.
