Arr by Michael Helman . . . Secular and Easter . . . 

This is a useful, easy to read medley of easily recognizable classical tunes often played at the Easter season but usable throughout the year.  They include "The Hallelujah Chorus", "The Conquering Hero Chorus" from Judas Maccabaeus, and Beethoven's "Hymn to Joy".

• Keys of G and C Major, 4/4 time signature, marked 120 speed.

• Quarter and 8th rhythms with some appropriate dotted notes; there are only a few scattered note changes.

• There is a section of marts, but no other special techniques are used.

• Dynamics are mf through ff from start to finish; the themes from the three choruses are mixed quite thoroughly and cleverly -- this is an audience pleaser!
