The First Noel
The introduction is a rousing declamation of a motive from the theme. The theme is presented in tact while the accompaniment supports with a delightful (music-box) movement. The next section is reflective with more counterpoint and then interrupted with a flair of accented variations. The final section concludes with much of the opening flavor and establishes the story with a solid cadence.

The Holly and The Ivy
Four Plus Brass Series- for two Trumpets and two Trombones (with opt. Horn and Tuba for color). Right out of the ate the first trumpet establishes the tune and the style in a vigorous manner. The middle voices then chase after each other in a gracious counterpoint. The middle section presents the tune in the trombone line while the trumpets offer an obbligato addition. With the second trombone presenting the tune the upper voices offer a rollicking accompaniment. The a modulation where the style becomes more florid it all becomes more solidified to a hold.
