From High Heaven (VOM HIMMEL HOCH)

Details

This is a musical arrangement of VOM HIMMER HOCH by Martin Luther, commencing with an intricate opening verse for the trumpet. The second verse highlights the Trumpet carrying the melody and venturing into unique tonal areas. The third verse offers a stark contrast, featuring a subdued solo from the organ and a Trumpet accompaniment with a straight mute. The final verse culminates this arrangement in a march-style maestoso. This timeless melody, often paired with a Christmas lyric, is adorned with fresh harmonies and compelling rhythmic counterpoint.
