What A Friend
A solo that begins with a brief introduction in the piano. The soloists then presents the tune in a straight-forward rendition. The second section presents the tune in the piano while the soloist overlays with a gentle obligato. The third section goes back to the melody briefly and then shifts back to the obligato and then settles into a final repose.

What A Friend
Scored for Saxophone quartet (A-A-T-B) with opt. Soprano for first Alto. The introduction starts with the First Alto playing a melodic motif, ever rising to a climatic point and then settling down to the theme- first presented in the First and Tenor parts weaving in and out producing a flowing texture, then joined by the Second Alto and eventually the Baritone. The chorus section of the hymn is a constant weaving of the four parts both harmonically and rhythmically. The next section becomes more active rhythmically adding tension until it settles down into a sweet aura of sound with gentle nudges of harmonic alteration. The final measures give an atmosphere of rest and solace.

This solo begins with a polite introduction and then is joined with the soloist in a gentle alteration of the tune in its entirety. A second verse is modulated upward with the tune with even more variation. After more modulations there is a brief cadenza and then a coda section based on the opening motif of the tune.
