    Just curious...why are you so specific in your need for these keys?

    I love b flat! I don't care what kind of music it is.

  • It comes to pass that there are at least two Easter hymns in Bb in The Hymnal 1982:
    1) He is risen, to Unser Herrscher, at no 180 (actually this is more effective in C)
    2) Jesus lives! thy terrors now, to St Albinus, at no 194 (one of my top favourites!)
    3) Come away to the skies, to Middlebury, at no 213
    Some of these are also in The Hymnal 1940, and
    they may be in Worship IV and others

    There is also the prelude and fugue in Bb in Bach's 'little eight'
    There is also Tchaikovsky's piano concerto in Bb-minor. It should keep you occupied!

    I have a little knob on my organ that will make anything be in B flat! ;-)

    1. Scan music into PhotoScore.
    2. Transpose into B-flat major/minor.
    3. Print.

    Bach wrote a whole Mass in B minor--is that close enough?

    And depending on which scholarly theories about how pitch has fluctuated over the centuries it could even be spot on! :)
