Serbia National Anthem

BoAe Pravde was composed in 1872 by Davorin Jenko. Originally it was a piece for a play and its popularity with the audiences eventually prompted its adoption in 1904 as the Serbian national anthem. Over the years, various rulers of Serbia changed the words of the anthem as they pleased. BoAe Pravde was officially declared as Serbia's anthem upon Serbian independence in 2006. The title means "God of Justice", or "Righteous Lord". This arrangement is in five independent parts each transposed into a variety of keys. For the most satisfying sound you will need to get a good balance between each part possibly with an emphasis on the melodic line. If you have a non-standard ensemble, you can "pick and mix" as required. The piano reduction can fill missing parts or can be used as the basis for an accompaniment. This arrangement consists of the score with seven instrumental staves (including timpani) and three percussion staves. The following parts are available: Part 1 in B flat, E flat and C; Part 1a in C (8ve higher), E flat (minor 3rd lower for E flat cornet); Part 2 in B flat, E flat and C; Part 2a in C, (8ve higher) E flat (minor 3rd lower for alto clarinet); Part 3 in B flat, E flat, C and F; Part 3a in B flat (8ve lower for 3rd clarinets); Part 4 in B flat, E flat, C and F; Part 5 in B flat and C; Part 6 in B flat, C and E flat. There are also parts for timpani, percussion (2-3 players) and a piano reduction.
