Nearer, My God To Thee
$29.95
When Jesus visited Mary and Martha in Bethany, he brought assurance both of communion with him and of his resurrection. It is quite fitting, therefore, that Lowell Mason should name his hymn tune “Bethany” to remind us of that assurance through the hymn’s well-loved text, “Though it be a cross that raiseth me, still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee!”

Only A Sinner
$10.00A woodwind quartet for Flute, oboe, and two clarinets with optional parts for flute and alto sax. Plus a set of fifth parts for bassoon or bass clarinet can allow for the piece being a quintet. The first statement is in the clarinets where it leads into a full ensemble passing the lines amongst the parts. A delightful little segue leads to a modulation where the tune is in the lower lines alternated with flourishes in the flutes. This Alternating texture carries on for some time. Then the tempo picks up for a vibrant exclamation where the theme is once again bantered about where it makes one final boast and concludes.

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

The final section is more subdued until it starts stacking the motifically structured parts until it ascends to a dramatic conclusion.
