Does anyone know if the carol 'Shepherd's Pipe Carol' by John Rutter has been arranged for Brass Band, either as choral accompaniment or for band only?

Just Music have an arrangement for Brass Band by Peter Graham (£17.95)

Now why didn't I get that result when I searched Just Music first? I bet I spelt it Shephards.....

Thanks very much Roger. If it's been done by Peter Graham, I imagine it won't need doing again!

However, does anyone know if thats a choral accompaniment or for band only?

The Peter Graham arrangement is a direct transcription of the Rutter original and is in the same concert pitch key as the version published in Carols for Choirs (so far as I am aware, it is the only version!). If you have a choir to accompany it ought to work without any issue!

Unusually for these arrangements from Carols for Choirs it is in a pleasant key for the brass players...

We've done it with choir a few times. No problem at all.
