Hymnsembles- Vol IV, Bk 2- Flute/Oboe/Bassoon

A Brass choir scored for four trumpets (optional horn), two trombones, baritone and tuba. The beginning is stated in the lower voices in a solemn fashion. The theme then presents itself in the upper voices in s straight forward manner followed by a key shift, giving over to a tuba solo with the middle voices supporting it in a flowing fashion. The next section becomes more rhythmic adding more voices for a full sound continuing on with more imitation amongst the voices building more agitation. The ensemble becomes increasingly chordal with some punctuating motives in the lower parts and then settles into a quiet resolve.

Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass. Opening with the upper two parts and then adding the lower voices gravitating to a block harmonic structure. The middle section starts with lower voices using a extraneous motif and stacked with upper voices doing the same in imitation. Then with more vigor all voices join in block harmonies until the final section where again imitation takes place until the final block harmonies take place.
