Originally arranged in 1984 for the Cincinnati Herald Trumpet Ensemble (CHTE) and used for countless weddings, this re-discovered classic arrangement can be played a capella or with organ if the organist can transpose to Bb (their arrangements are usually in D). Very majestic -- and much simpler than most arrangements of this famous and popular piece.
