Indeed, Luis! "Brass... also reproduce choral writing better than woodwind; in much early music, brass, especially trombones, simply double the voices."

Here a short piece I wrote for SATB choir, brass, timpani and organ. Sorry, I couldn't find lyrics for that and a more original tittle 😅 Any ideas for the lyrics are wellcome.

If you are interested, here is the score with notes:

First of all, a BIG thank you to Luis Hernandez and TrebleWoofer for commenting on the piano solo version of this piece. It all means and helps a lot. I went ahead and arranged the whole thing for a wind band. Most of the original ideas are there, but there's some more added content such as mirror chords, broken woodwind runs, groovy percussive features, and many more. I apologize that the software recording isn't at the best quality right now. A scoring cannot be added as of right now (to eliminate the fact of seeing 40+ instruments on each page, can truly be a pain for the eyes), nevertheless, the scoring is still in a works in progress. I was told by some other critics that this piece could be centered around a Halloween theme; and I know it's a bit too early for this but, Happy Halloween to you all!

Maybe you are talking about an acephalic phrase.

Thank's @PaperComposer, You are right, I added brass to give more power and resonance. I like to combination of choir, brass, organ and timpani and I think it fits pretty well with the character.

Nice and simple and joyful - well done! Not much to say about it - I wish I could review it more critically. I guess you added the brass just for reverb inside an (assumed) church hall? I wish the brass were more independent although I guess you already have enough counterpoint going on between the four voices. Thanks for the music!
