Best of Rooms – Concert Band

Description

The Best of RoomsComplete Band Set for Concert BandThis arrangement of Randall Thompson’s unaccompanied choral piece, The Best of Rooms, was transcribed by Barbara Lambrecht. As a student, Barbara fell in love with Thompson’s music after hearing the Texas All State Choir sing his Testament of Freedom. Years later, as a school band director, she joined her church choir and “discovered” The Best of Rooms. Charmed not only by the music but also the text, she arranged this gem for wind band so that a new generation of musicians, in this case instrumentalists, could experience the genius of Randall Thompson. Two wind band versions are available: Version A opens with clarinet choir and oboe solo, while Version B opens with horn quartet. Whether for choir or band, the music is lush, warm, lyrical, and mystical. Duration: 4:00This version is the complete band set with score and parts and includes a reproducible choral part
