Suggestions for smaller and chamber music versions

In case you want to perform parts of the oratorio, a cappella or with a small ensemble, look below

  1. A Cappella 
  2. Choir with piano (and perhaps one instrument)
  3. Suggestions if there is a smaller orchestra / choir 
  4. Or else make contact if you want to discuss making versions for other settings.

1. A Cappella

Here are a cappella versions of two parts of the oratorio. Each of them are around 4 minutes long. One is for minimum 6 and the other 8 singers, plus narration. That is to say, minimum is at about a double quartet or else some multiple of that. You can listen to a recording of part 08 here. 

Part 02, A Cappella, Article 1, version May 4th 2025 (pdf)

Part 08 (of 19) Article 12 ; version January 13th 2021 for A4 printing (pdf)

2. Choir with piano (+)

Here is the 6th part in a condensed setting - choir, piano and violin. The vln could be exchanged for another instrument, in fact any melodic instrument. And, perhaps if performed in a church, the piano could be replaced by an organ as well.

3. Following on to that...

... if there are several instruments but not an entire symphony orchestra available...

... then you can pick parts which use a somewhat smaller ensemble. Below are some suggestions on such parts. 


Part 3

Soprano solo with woodwinds, marimba and strings 


Part 6

Mixed choir with cor anglais, tuba, percussion and strings


Part 8

Double choir solo a cappella (alternatively double quartet)  
 

Part 9

Four soloists (Soprano, Mezzo soprano, Tenor, Bass) with woodwinds, trumpet, percussion and strings. Solo role for the viola. 


Part 16 

Tenor solo along with horn solo, plus woodwinds and strings  


Part 17 

Three soloists (Soprano, Tenor, Bass), mixed choir and chamber orchestra


Part 18

Four soloists (Soprano, Mezzo soprano, Tenor, Bass) assisted by ladies choir, along with woodwinds, percussion and strings 


It is also possible to consider other alternatives if it helps you create a performance. There are piano reductions available for some parts and more can be made (or perhaps versions for organ). 


Another suggestion is to pick the parts which concern those Human Rights which have your particular interest. Just check the text out, simple as that.


And do make contact if you have questions or ideas.
