This lovely soprano aria movement from part 3 of Handel's Messiah gives trumpet 1 (or flugelhorn) the complete soprano
part. Trumpet 2 gets most of the violin solo, and tuba most of the bass part. Though mostly filler, the horn
and trombone do get a few nice moving lines. The piece is transposed down from the original key of E to Eb for
a much more comfortable setting for brass. Playing time is nearly 6 minutes, but an optional Fine is written
in for a 2 and a half minute version.
