Wagner / Buerkle - Gathering of the Armies (SOMusic)

This arrangement by Brian Buerkle comes from Wagner's famous opera, Lohengrin. It begins with offstage trumpets and trombones calling their armies. The Horns sound the hymn tune. As the trumpet fanfares get closer and closer, the ensemble eventually builds to a climax singing the praises of King Heinrich in full voice. Scored for 4 Trumpets, 4 Horns, 4 Trombones, Tuba, and Percussion with opt. Organ. Approximately 4:30.
