Chorale Prelude: All Things Bright and Beautiful

Claude T. Smith’s setting of All Things Bright and Beautiful as this chorale prelude develops the Old English hymn. It celebrates the creation of our beautiful world and all the wonderful things living in it. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as ten musicians providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs, while still allowing a full ensemble sound.

*The accompanying recording is based on the full band scoring but aligns with the suggested preferences for either woodwinds/strings or brass suggested in the score.
