Notes to Director Thank you for downloading this eHymns™ arrangement! eHymns is designed to enhance worship and congregational singing. First, it picks up where most instrumental hymnals stop by providing an exciting or moving free harmonization. Introductions, interludes, descants, modulations, and choral endings are also features of many of the arrangements. And each keyboard part – organ, piano, and synthesizer – are fully scored to eliminate guesswork. Each arrangement is also orchestrated in a 7-part format, which enables your church orchestra – despite how large or small it is – to sound as full as it possibly can. How the Orchestration is Organized How the Orchestration is Organized How the Orchestration is Organized How the Orchestration is Organized How the Orchestration is Organized A new, improved feature of eHymns is that the entire orchestration is now contained in a single PDF file. A menu should appear to the left with bookmarks for each score and instrumental part. If the bookmarks window did not open, click on the bookmarks tab. The bookmarks allow you to go straight to a specific score or part if you need. Another great feature about this is that the entire orchestration prints with one keystroke. No more opening and printing 21 individual files! The following information is provided to assist you in knowing how the instrumental parts function: Flute / Oboe / Violin Flute / Oboe / Violin Flute / Oboe / Violin Flute / Oboe / Violin Flute / Oboe / Violin Clarinet Clarinet Clarinet Clarinet Clarinet Synthesizer (String Reduction) Synthesizer (String Reduction) Synthesizer (String Reduction) Synthesizer (String Reduction) Synthesizer (String Reduction) All of the above parts are identical, and usually provide a descant or obbligato. The part is written in octaves, therefore I would recommend having flute and 1st violins play the upper octave. Clarinet, oboe, and 2nd violins will probably feel more comfortable playing the lower octave (in fact, they will find some of the upper octave notes simply impossible to play). The synthesizer part is usually identical to FLUTE / OBOE / VIOLIN, which will provide more support. Occasionally, the part may take a more prominent role. Part Doubling Part Doubling Part Doubling Part Doubling Part Doubling Several parts are doubled in an effort to make an orchestra sound full despite how many instrumentalists are available. The only orchestral instruments that are not doubled are trumpets. • Flute / Oboe / Violin is doubled by Clarinet and Synthesizer. • F Horn is doubled by Alto Sax and Viola. • Trombones 1 & 2 are doubled by Baritone (TC) and Tenor Sax • Trombone 3 & Tuba are doubled by Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, and Cello & Double Bass.
