Abide with Me Paul G Young

Scroll below for a video of the score as played in Finale by a C Instrument in bass clef with piano. This hymn arrangement requires the Grade 3 technical skills, range, and maturity of high school or college-level performers and an accomplished pianist. After a short piano introduction in common time signature, the plaintive melodic theme is introduced by the soloist in Concert Key of F Major. There is a modulation into the Key of G Major for the 3rd verse. The range is not extreme, rhythmic demands in common time are very minimal which makes this a rather easy arrangement to put together and a popular choice for performances in many types of church services. This volume contains a piano score accompanying a C Instrument in Bass Clef. There are individual instrumental parts for: * C Instrument in Treble Clef (Flute, Oboe, Violin - in 2 octaves); * Bb Instrument in Treble Clef (Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone, Trumpet); * Eb Instrument in Treble Clef (Alto Clarinet, Alto Saxophone); * F Instrument in Treble Clef (Horn in F - in 2 octaves); * C Instrument in Bass Clef (Bassoon, Trombone, Euphonium, Cello); * Low C Instrument in Bass Clef (String Bass, Tuba), * and a part in alto clef for Viola. This is a beautiful piece to prepare and perform, especially as you work to develop the thematic and intricate harmonic material between the piano and the instrumental soloist. Audiences will love it!
