“Fanfare for the Common Mam”, by Aaron Copland. Provides a wonderful opportunity to Multi-track Sequence. I sequenced the following instruments:

4 Horns in F, 3 B-flat Trumpets, 3 Trombones, 1 Tuba, 1 Timpani

The sequencing was done one instrument at a time. The F-horns needed to be transposed down 7 half steps, the trumpets down 2 half steps. There is no organ part written for this selection, however you can "make one up" based on the sheet music edition:

"Fanfare for the Common Man", keyboard solo, by Aaron Copland, published by Boosey and Hawkes. Any music supply company such as J. W. Pepper can send one out to you. If you order it and want suggestions how to invent an organ part, let me know. The keyboard edition is also 2 measures shorter than the orchestral score so I will help you overcome that.

This could be used as a grand fanfare for Easter or any joyous feast! It will stand on its own or gladly welcome an organ fill in.
