Ein Feste Burg- A Mighty Fortress is Our God - Arr. Cliff Hicks Grade: ■ 3 Minutes 05 seconds This hymn has been a favourite since Martin Luther scored it early in the sixteenth century. This arrangement for brass band is a ‘must’ for the Sunday Park Concert. The opening has a hint of a carillon in the cornets giving way to a majestic fanfare. The flugel opens the main theme supported by solo horn, first baritone and euphonium. Additional instruments form a brass choir before the theme ends. Four BIG chords are pivotal leading to ‘full ranks’. The theme continues in lower brass and cornets finish in a flurry leading to a reprise of the fanfare in this "allargandaic" finish. Yes, definitely a must for the Sunday Concert.
