This concerns Joseph Martin’s Christmas Cantata, “And There Was Light,” which was released several years ago.
The publisher website is unclear about the piano part for the small ensemble (“consort”) version; it might be just a reduction of the strings section of the full orchestra version, intended for digital instrument performance.
I’d like to use the consort version in performance, but if the piano part in that is only a strings reduction that doesn’t offer much interest to a professional pianist. I also hesitate to ask a pianist to play the practice accompaniment provided in the choral score as an alternative because unavoidable instrument doubling would muddy up the overall sound of the nice orchestration provided for the small ensemble.
Is there anyone with either the consort’s or full orchestra’s conductor scores who would describe the piano part for me? I’d also gladly accept a few page scans for the purpose of seeing for myself what the part contains.
Kindest thanks in advance!
