Category:Arrangers
From ChoralWiki
An arranger is one who adapts a piece of music composed by himself or by another, so as to make it suitable by for performance by forces other than for which it was originally composered, or to adapt it to a different text. For example, in the early Nineteenth century, Richard Redhead took the Psalm Tune from the Psalter printed by George Day in 1562, and arranged the tune by omitting the last half. J.S. Bach took a number of tunes of German Chorales and arranged them by creating new harmonies.
