Brass Quintet

Were You There (When They Crucified the Lord)? -- jazzy version
traditional spiritual
arr. Zack Smith
Price: $10

Transposed parts can be ordered.


This is a New Orleans jazz treatment of the hymn.  It begins as a trombone feature slowly in a traditional setting.  The trombone part is written pretty high (up to a treble clef Bb), so this might not be for you if your trombonist doesn't have high chops.  Trombone has a written jazz solo, followed by trumpet and then tuba solo.  After a key change, there is one more chorus of Dixieland, then the chart ends back in the original hymn setting.  Fun to play, and the congregation will be tapping their toes!

Listen to a synthesized version.
