This trio begins with a joyful piano introduction which leads into a three part harmonization of the instrumental parts. The second section is a lilting (waltz feeling) in block harmonization and then goes into a bell-tone rendition of the tune. A brief transition in a slower, expressive style comes to repose where it concludes in the joyful style that the piece began.

“I Know Whom I Have Believed” starts out in a manner of joyful confidence. The parts are in basic triadic harmony and then offer solo lines for the various parts. The piece concludes with a sense of strong confidence that the hymn portrays.

An unaccompanied saxophone trio for three altos (and optional tenor sax) part. The introduction is based on a exuberant motive that leads into the first section which is a straight-forward melody with straight-forward harmonic support. This leads into the next section which gravitates to a different meter as well as key. The parts interplay giving a sense of constant movement. Another modulation takes place and the mood is one of victory and solidification. This continues until a triumphant motive of celebration and victory.
