Piece Description

These ingenious arrangements by Ian Lawrence combine the original instrumental and choral lines to create full and varied textures for brass.

Review: "These two pieces from the Oratorio Samson are typical of the gloriously rich style of the high baroque. This music would be very suitable for performance in a church or concert hall, and provides a useful addition to the brass repertoire from one of the most well loved periods of music." – Stephen Wick September 1994
