An arrangement for Bb Trumpet, Cornet or Flugel & Piano of the beautiful spiritual ’Swing Low, Sweet Chariot’.
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot has been sung by British rugby players and fans for some decades, but became associated with the English national side, in particular, in 1988. Coming into the last match of the 1988 season, against Ireland at Twickenham, England had lost 15 of their previous 23 matches in the Five Nations Championship. The Twickenham crowd had only seen one solitary England try in the previous two years and at half time against Ireland they were 0-3 down. However during the second half England scored six tries to give them a 35-3 win. Three of the tries came in quick succession from Chris Oti, a black player making his Twickenham debut. A group from the Benedictine school Douai started to sing a rugby club favourite, the gospel hymn "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", in honour of their new hero, large sections of the crowd joined in. The song is still regularly sung at matches by supporters.
The England national rugby union team returned from the 2003 World Cup triumph in Australia on a plane dubbed ’Sweet Chariot’.

seView, is the most compatible option. You should be able to view music on all modern web browsers including most mobile devices. Even if your device does not support javascript you should still be able to preview at least page one of the music.
You do not need to install any additional software to use seView.
Scorch is a free plug-in from Avid for displaying and printing music. It can also play the music that you're seeing. Scorch generally works well if you're using a windows computer, but is currently not compatible with modern Mac computers or mobile devices.
If your web browser does not install Scorch automatically, you can click here to download and install scorch manually.
