A Quiet Place
Based around the 1988 Take 6 recording and scored for brass quartet.
Composer : Ralph Carmichael
Arranger: Jim Fieldhouse.
Instrumentation: standard brass band quartet.
Difficulty: Advanced
A
A Quiet Place was written in 1967 but it was the 1988 recording, by American a cappella group, Take 6, that has gone on to become the most well loved version. This arrangement, for brass band quartet, is based on that recording. In order to bring this beautiful setting of Ralph Carmichael's music & lyrics to life, sensitive phrasing and legato playing is paramount.
This quartet is scored for two B flat cornets or flugelhorns, E flat tenor horn and B flat Euphonium.
The lyrics (listed below) will give performers an indication of the atmosphere they are looking to create.
There is a quiet place
Far from the rapid pace
Where God can soothe my troubled mind
Sheltered by tree and flower
There in my quiet hour
With Him my cares are left behind
Whether a garden small
Or on a mountain tall
New strength and courage there I find
Then from this quiet place
I go prepared to face
A new day with love for all mankind
Enjoy!
