America, The Beautiful
For full orchestra the piece begins with a straight forward introduction and then settles into a solemn mood. The theme is first presented in the horns and then joined with the upper woodwinds. A transition is carried by the brass and then modulates upward where the woodwinds and strings burst forth with a decorated version of the melody supported by the full orchestra. The chordal structure and rhythms become stronger until it concludes on a strong resolute chord.

This duet places most of the technic in the flute part while the clarinet (alto sax) is rather straight forward with the melody. The piano part carries an underlying drive that gives the feeling of a march. The flute part is a decorative addition with moments of “all Stars and Stripes.” A bright and celebrated work that will highlight any patriotic venue.

This stirring arrangement of the Samuel Ward tune is perfect for any patriotic service or concert. A dramatic introduction gives way to a legato first stanza, followed by a more dramatic second stanza. A short interlude leads to the final stanza, which starts slower and legatissimo and concludes powerfully and marcato in the original tempo.

This brass quintet with piano can also be used as a sextet with the optional parts. It is presented in a march style incorporating “My Country Tis Of Thee,” and “America The Beautiful”. The piece is of moderate difficulty but because of the way the scoring passes the parts around there is a variety of tonal color as well as rhythmic movement.

For trumpet trio and piano, the trio begins with a majestic statement and soars to a high point where it then settles down to a more solemn style. The three solo parts now exercise smooth contrapuntal interaction and then abruptly becomes more agitated. After coming to a strong climax the three parts, unaccompanied, become very expressive and tentative only to be followed with the piano joining in a strong sense of resolve.
