Chorale Prelude

Title: Chorale Prelude
Level: Grade I/II
Composer/Arranger: Arr. Anne McGinty
Publisher: Queenwood Publishers
Classification: Prelude
Instrumentation: Full
Source: Popplers music score and program notes
General Comments: This beautiful arrangement was published in 1992 and is based on a hymn found in Cologne, Germany that dates back to 1623. The piece begins with a broad introduction of the popular chorale tune. With some mixed meter and phrasing, care must be given to the moving lines. There is an eventual key change from B-flat to E-flat after which the music can be played a bit more deliberately. The variations of this Protestant chorale melody are worth a look or two.
