Hosanna, Loud Hosanna
Four Plus Brass Series- for two Trumpets and two Trombones (with opt. Horn and Tuba for color). Beginning in a robust and jubilant manner with unison statements in the voices. The trombones carry the tune with brief flourishes of punctuation in the trumpets. Then breaking into a duet in the trumpet and trombone in an imitative fabric, the piece gives over to the trumpets carrying the theme. The next section is slower and more harmonically divergent. Then once again a more vigorous manner like the beginning where the piece concludes with optional endings.
