Joy to the World - Forrest - orchestration - digital download
Dan ForrestDescription
Full Orchestra and Irish Traditional Ensemble includes score and parts: D Whistle (or piccolo), Fiddle (Violin), Guitar, Bodhran (or hand drum), Bass (upright or electric), Accordion (or concertina), 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons; 2-4 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba; percussion; timpani; strings (violin I & II, viola, cello, double bass).
Ensemble may play as a "feature" in front of the orchestra; simply use whatever is available, including the piano four-hand accompaniment in the choral score (or sold separately). Piano four-hands will add brilliance to this orchestration, but is not required with large/full-size orchestras.
Please note: This scoring may be performed without a choir as a stand-alone orchestral work (with or without piano four-hands). Consider it as an instrumental postlude/reprise/encore for your Christmas concert or service!
