Abide With Me - Last Post
Also known as Eventide or Sunset
By William H. Monk, Arranged for Clarinet Quartet or Clarinet Quintet by Hugh Levey

This is a flexible arrangement for Clarinet Quartet with or without soloist (Bb Clarinet, Trumpet or Cornet for example). Full scores and sets of parts are provided here for both versions. This arrangement combines two emotionally charged pieces of music. The 19th century hymn Abide with Me, set to the tune Eventide, is often used for funerals. The 18th century bugle call The Last Post is often played to commemorate those who have lost their lives in armed conflict and is played at annual Remembrance Day services in much of the English speaking world.

Here they come together in a lovely arrangement where the soloist plays the bugle call while the clarinet quartet play the hymn. In the version without soloist, clarinet 1 plays a hymn line as well as the bugle call. This work is suitable for funerals, other solemn occasions, military events and recitals.
