Combocom Spirituals Music for Flexible Ensemble

Combocom Spirituals Music for Flexible Ensemble (Score & Parts)

Graham Buckland has arranged a rich variety of spirituals in this edition for variable instrumental ensemble.  This edition consists of a full score and five individual instrumental parts.  The full score includes a part of piano, keyboard or guitar and also contains the texts to the spirituals for a singer.  In some cases additional vocal parts ad libitum are added.  All arrangements are compatible with the edition for choir "64 Spirituals a cappella" (BA 7574).

Score with chords and 5 parts:
Melody I in C and Bb (Violin clef)
Melody II in C and Bb (Violin clef)
Melody III in C (Violin clef; Bass clef)
Melody III in C and F (Viola clef; Horn part)
Melody III in Bb and Eb (Violin clef)

“combocom” is Bärenreiter’s series of music for variable ensemble.  Each volume contains a full score for piano, keyboard or guitar, melody parts (in C, B-flat, and E-flat) and a part for bass instrument.

“combocom” also offers suggestions for using percussion.  It thus permits a wide range of instrumental combinations: if the violin takes the top part, the saxophone can play the counter-melody and the cello the bass while the guitar strums the specified chords.

But many other combinations are possible too, whether at home, at school, or in a “genuine” band, combo or buskers' ensemble...
