Hymne sacré H44C, arrangé pour sextour à vents par Nicolas Prost (2016), Partitur und Stimmen

Arr.:Prost, Nicolas

This arrangement written by Nicolas Prost in 2016 is a free reconstitution of the lost work Hymne sacré pour les instruments de Sax (Sacred song for the instruments of Sax), which was first performed at the Hertz concert hall in Paris on 3 February 1844. Adolphe Sax himself played the saxophone part. It was the first time that this instrument was played in a concert. The piece performed was an arrangement of Chant sacré for six voices and piano composed by Berlioz in December 1843.
