First Chorales for Band

A collection of sixteen well-known chorales (8 major and 8 relative minor keys) in one book, each skillfully arranged by James Swearingen. Ideally suited for rehearsal warm-up, these chorales will help your students improve their aural skills, tone production, legato phrasing and intonation. Written in four-part harmony (SATB), these books are scored to accommodate a variety of large and small ensemble settings. Each book includes 16 chorales, 16 major and minor scales and a glossary of musical terms.
